You won't be able to do this with the normal replace method, however
here is a link to a sample of how to do this using the regular
expression features of .Net.

The code is in C#, but you shouldn't have a real problem translating it
to VB.Net (I'm guessing that you use VB.Net from you original question).

Have A Better One!
