1) Describe the problem.
Can't compare strings that contains "[]" using LIKE

2) GIVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATIONS (if they are appropriate):

Version: 3.2.1

3) Provide a little project that reproduces the bug or the crash.

Dim a As String = "/music/album-[artist]-song"
Dim b As String = "documents/music/album-[artist]-song.ogg"

'return false here:
Debug b Like "*" & a & "*"

'it also says that [a] = [a],
'but [a] like [a] also returns false!

--------
Maybe it is an expected behaviour, but how can accomplish that task?

Changing "[" to "(" and "]" to ")" works.

Thanks, changing the pattern using a="/music/album-\\[artist\\]-song" works.

But, i'm using that for a long list of items, should i call replace() everytime 
or there is a faster way?
