Substitute
I have an excel file that uses VBA to convert the information in
various other files into HTML. It works fine, including the following lines which convert "&" symbols to their html form: For j = 8 To lastrow rankList = rankList & WorksheetFunction.Substitute(shRanks.Cells (j, i).Text, " & ", " & ") & "<br /" Next j However, when I try to use the same technique to avoid surplus instances of "</p" tags by using the following code: traveller(colNo) = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(traveller(colNo), "</ p</p", "</p") it gives me the following error: Run-time error '1004' Unable to get the Substitute property of the WorksheetFunction class. I've tried doing this in various other ways, but it always produces the same error. What am I doing wrong? Gordon Rainsford |

Why use WorksheetFunction.Substitute? VBA has its own Replace function.

Substitute
Thanks Bob,
I didn't know about the Replace Function. I chose Substitute rather than the Replace Method for two reasons: I sometimes use it on a computer with Excel 97, and I don't know where in the string the text will appear. I'll see what I can do with the Replace Function, but nevertheless it seems odd to me that I've encountered the below behaviour with one instance of Substitute but not with another.

Thanks, Bob,
It works fine with Replace, though not in Excel 97. Gordon On Apr 28, 11:59*am, "Bob Phillips" wrote: Why use WorksheetFunction.Substitute?

Substitute
Here is some code you can use that will allow you to uses Replace even with
97 #If VBA6 Then #Else '----------------------------------------------------------------- Function Replace(expression As String, _ find_string As String, _ replacement As String) '----------------------------------------------------------------- Dim i As Long Dim iLen As Long Dim iNewLen As Long Dim sTemp As String sTemp = expression iNewLen = Len(find_string) For i = 1 To Len(sTemp) iLen = Len(sTemp) If Mid(sTemp, i, iNewLen) = find_string Then sTemp = Left(sTemp, i - 1) & replacement & Right(sTemp, iLen - i - iNewLen + 1) i = i + iNewLen - 1 End If Next i Replace = sTemp End Function #End If -- __________________________________ HTH Bob wrote in message ...
