I wrote a routine to strip any occurence of a character from a string (like
removing all spaces).
At the time I wrote it, I didn't think I'd be using it much and did not
worry about performance
Now I'm finding that I'm using often and wondered if there is a built in
function for doing the same thing...
My "code" is below. (please be gentle - I'm not a professional programmer
:-)

Thanks
Mark

Public Function oakStrip(StripString As String, StripChar As String) As
String
'
' strip a specified character from a string
'
Dim i As Integer
Dim strChar As String
Dim Result As String
For i = 1 To Len(StripString)
  strChar = Mid$(StripString, i, 1)
  If strChar <> StripChar Then
    Result = Result & strChar
  End If
Next i
oakStrip = Result
End Function
