How to perform Search and Replace on "Tilde", CHAR(126), ~
Hello
I am using Excel 2003. It appears that Excel's search and replace function is ignoring the tilde (~) character. I am simply trying to delete every instance, within any character string or a single ~. I have tried the Search and Replace function to no avail. The Substitute (=SUBSTITUTE(tilde,"~","", 1)) function works, but is at the single cell level or array level, not the entire sheet or workbook. The CHAR(126) does return a ~. Thank You, Sean |

Use two of them.
* and ? are can be used for wildcards. To actually find the asterisk and question mark, you use ~* and ~?. And so to tell excel that you want to find ~ (not treat ~ as an "escape" character for * or ?), you use two: ~~ wrote: Hello I am using Excel 2003.
