I just ran across this in the VB help. Sounds perfect. Only they don't tell me what namespace must be imported to use regex. I guess that's the problem cause I pasted this into a test program and it tell me Regex is not declared.

Function CleanInput(ByVal strIn As String) As String
' Replace invalid characters with empty strings.
Return Regex.Replace(strIn, "[^\w\.@-]", "")
End Function
