The tilde character is a special control character. To use it as a
literal character, use two:

"'#http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/!~~acrobat/"

Cordially,

Hello,
I'd like to remove "'#http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~acrobat/" from a
bunch of urls. It should be easy to do, except that Excel doesn't
seem to recognize the "~" (the character below the escape key).
Can someone help me?

As someone who has *used* Excel for a long time but is no expert, I was
puzzled by why the double tilde had to be used. Thanks, Chip, for the
explanation.
