language overrides not working

hi,
all of sudden my language override file is not overriding. earlier today my overrides just disappeared out of the file. just gone. now i put them all back and it worked for a while but now, its not seeing them and they are there.

help!

the problem is the following line:
AMOUNT_COLLECTED_ON_DELIVERY="The amount of approximately %s** will be collected upon delivery of your order (%s). **if you have ordered a Fresh Willie Bird the cost will be computed and added in store.


i need to edit this line and what a pain. i dont want totals in this statement as not all of my cart is charged. but if remove the line at the beginning to just have the order number. it inserts the order total. why are they the same variable???

i am assuming you are flowing in an array here?? anyway this is not working for me.
is it the asterix that is breaking the language file? how can i simply write on this page

your order number is xxx.

thank you, Liz

sorry i was missing a ". however is there a way to just show the order number without the total at all??
thanks, L

For that you should do it like that:
AMOUNT_COLLECTED_ON_DELIVERY="<span style='display:none;'>%s</span>Your order number is %s."

ahh good idea. i didnt know you could use html in that file
