Replacing a String

I'm attempting to replace the string:
Standing the Aeon on your open palm, you blow it lightly at Bob and watch as it seems to slow his movement through the time stream.
with the following text to be highlighted:
++++++++AEON LANDED++++++++
Here is my code, what am I doing wrong?
Trigger
^Standing the Aeon on your open palm, you blow it lightly at (\w+) and watch as it seems to slow (\w+) movement through the time stream.$
Script
replace("+++++++++++++++++++++++++ AEON LANDED ++++++++++++++++++++++++")
setFgColor(255,0,0)
setBgColor(255,255,255)
resetFormat()

You haven't selected anything -> replace() does nothing. There are several select functions -> api docs

Ahhh sorry missed the top line of my script.
selectString("Standing the Aeon on your open palm, you blow it lightly at " ..matches[2].. " and watch as it seems to slow " ..matches[3].. " movement through the time stream.")
replace("+++++++++++++++++++++++++ AEON LANDED ++++++++++++++++++++++++")
setFgColor(255,0,0)
setBgColor(255,255,255)
resetFormat()

You have forgotten the second argument of selectString() -> syntax error
You should simply use matches[1] here which means the entire match and selectCaptureGroup()

Just use selectString(line, 1)

Ok so I used SelectCaptureGroup(0) assuming that using 0 would be the equivalent of matches[1]. Still no luck though.
selectCaptureGroup(0)
replace("+++++++++++++++++++++++++ AEON LANDED ++++++++++++++++++++++++")
setFgColor(255,0,0)
setBgColor(255,255,255)
resetFormat()

No, you'd want selectCaptureGroup(1)

Ok still not working, however when I use the feedTriggers function to test it works great:
feedTriggers("\nStanding the Aeon on your open palm, you blow it lightly at Bob and watch as it seems to slow his movement through the time stream.\n")
Here is the trigger RegEx:
^Standing the Aeon on your open palm, you blow it lightly at (\w+) and watch as it seems to slow (\w+) movement through the time stream.$
and code:
selectCaptureGroup(1)
replace("+++++++++++++++++++++++++ AEON LANDED ++++++++++++++++++++++++")
setFgColor(255,0,0)
setBgColor(255,255,255)
resetFormat()
Any idea at all ????

That did not work for me either Tsuujin.
Perhaps if someone could post an example of how they have accomplished this?
Thanks for the help on this everyone, I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why its not working.
