I started a new thread because my problem had changed slightly :)

I need to Replace or Remove all the " (double quotes) in a string. If I do

mystring = Replace(mystring,""", "")

then I get an undetermined string constant error.
Does anyone know of another way? I can't find anything in my books.

Thanks again
Sarah

p.s. To clarify, the string is a long string comprising lots of HTML - I can live without any of the double quotes contained therein.

mystring = Replace(mystring,"""", "")

Hope it will work!

Hey timtom...

If you find you are working with lots and lots of double quotes, the """" way can get quite messy.

An alternative is to use:
mystring = Replace(mystring, Chr(34), "")

But like I said, its only really a benefit for cases involving lots and lots of double quotes! Brett Birkett B.Comp
