Default Check for character in string

I have a range of cells with a name in them. What is the best way to
check to see if each cell has the "_" character or the "-" character
in the string? I would also like to remove it. Right now i have:

If Not Range("A4").Find("-") Is Nothing Then
fileName = VBA.Replace(Range("A4").Value, "-", "")
ElseIf Not Range("A4").Find("_") Is Nothing Then
fileName = VBA.Replace(Range("A4").Value, "_", "")
End If

I'm using the VBA.Replace method to replace the above characters with
a blank. (If the .Find method is not nothing, replace the characters)
It works fine, just didn't know if there was a faster, more efficient
way? ....like an array or something...
