I pull a text string off a web page, that contains some random text.
From time to time, the string will contain a mixture of ASCII and ISO
encoded characters. Sample below.

I'm unable to get any function to recognize the string.

I'm using VBA 6.0 with Excel 2000

Example code:

Subject= "Auction"

Subject = Replace(Subject, "B", "A")

I've also tried every other character that should be in that string.

The replacement never takes place, the string is unmodified. I've
also tried searching for just "&#" but it never finds that either.
I've tried using InStr as well but that fails to find a match too.
The goal is of course to dechiper the (random) string into it's ASCII
equivalent (so that it can be read by a human).

Any help?

Thank you in advance
