string manipulation

String Manipulation: Given a string like “This is a string”, I want to remove all single characters( alphabets and numerals) like (a, b, 1, 2, .. ) .

So the output of the string will be “This is string”

This is very urgent. Please help

Can you implement the following logic:

if the string starts with a single character followed by a blank space OR
if the string ends with a blank space followed by a single character OR
any occurences of a substring of three characters where the first and last character of the substring are blank spaces THEN replace it by an empty substring.

Hope it helps.

Private Function ValidateSingleCharacter(pStrValue As String) As String
Dim strTmpArray() As String
Dim NoValue As Long, i As Integer
NoValue = UBound(Split(Trim(pStrValue), " "))
ReDim strTmpArray(NoValue) As String
strTmpArray = Split(Trim(pStrValue), " ")
For i = 0 To NoValue
If Len(strTmpArray(i)) = 1 Then strTmpArray(i) = "" else: strTmpArray(i) = strTmpArray(i) & " "
Next i
ValidateSingleCharacter = Join(strTmpArray, "")
End Function

I think this will help you
