Default Remove spaces from a string variable

Hi blatham

Replace and some other string functions are not available in XL97

Use Substitute in XL97, and the slightly faster Replace for later versions.
The conditional #If VBA6 will prevent a compile error in XL97's VBA5.

Sub test()

#If VBA6 Then
myStr = Replace("dunno why...", "dunno", "do know")
#Else ' it's XL97
myStr = Application.Substitute("dunno why...", "dunno", "do know")
#End If

End Sub

Regards,
Peter T

Nah, perhaps it was introduced in a later version. Suppose 97 is a bit
old now! Thanks anyway.
