Default String operations in VBA for "Substituite"?

Hi Brad,

If you're using Excel 2000 or later, check out the VBA Replace function.
In Excel 97 you can use the SUBSTITUTE worksheet function via
Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute.

What is the best way to code VBA for the associated SUBSTITUTE command in
cell formulas...

I want to delete a character from my string. I usually achieve this by
using
=SUBSTITUTE(²text²,²t²,²²)
Which returns ³ex² in a cell.

Unfortunately, this doesnıt go well in VBA ...
Perhaps the followoing?

For j = 1 to len(str)
If Mid(str, j, 1) = "t"
O delete the letter of the string?
Else??

Any ideas? Iım sure someone has done it before ...
