Remove spaces from a string variable
 

Does anyone know if there is a function to remove or replace space
within a string variable in VBA. I want something similar to the TRI
function that also removes spaces from middle of the string as well a
the ends.

Thank

Thanks but when I try this it doesn't recognise the Sub or Function.
Does it need a reference to a particular library to be set for it t
work

Hmmm... wouldn't really know why it can't recognize... Replace i
supposed to be a "standard" method. It's a member of the String
Module. Try using dot-notation:

Strings.Replace("dunno why...", "dunno", "do know")

sorry, don't have much idea... :(

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

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
