Can someone tell me why this doesn't work?
Dim MyString as string
MyString = "Winner's"
Mystring.replac e("'", " ")
I'm trying to remove any single quotes from my data, so I don't get Sql
query errors.
It doesn't really matter what values I look for, the replace seems to do
nothing .
I also tried Dim MyString as Stringbuilder and system.stringbu ilder but I
just get errors Stringbuilder.
I did see this in the help, Dim MyString as Stringbuilder , but I'm unable
to replicate it?

Have another read of the documentation for String.Replace.
The method returns the result of the Replace operation but, in you case, you
are not retaining the result.

Tony,
To translate Stephany's words in code. MyString = "Winner's"
MyString = Mystring.replac e("'", " ")
Cor
What I was really saying to him Cor, was:
Read (and re-read if necessary) and make sure you understand how the
string.Replace method works.
Show someone how to find the answer and thay will learn.
Provide them with with the answer and they won't.

Stephany,
I know it was not critique, however a little sample learn sometimes people
easier to fish.

Au contraire!
10 to 1 he copies and pastes the line you supplies and nevers thinks about
it again.

You can be right, however it has no sense to try to learn someone to fish
when he does not want to learn it. The evolution learns us that those
specimen don't exist long.
However the sample was only to renforce your text not en contraire of that.

'String.Replace ' will /return/ the resulting string! The sample below
demonstrates the use of the 'String.Replace ' method and VB.NET's
'Strings.Replac e' function which can be used alternatively:
\\\
Dim Text As String = "Fred's car"
Dim Result As String = Text.Replace("' ", "")
MsgBox(Result)
Result = Replace(Text, "'", "")
MsgBox(Result)

Instead of preparing the strings yourself and building the whole SQL command
string, you may want to use a parameterized command that will do the
escaping automatically:
Using Parameters with a 'DataAdapter'

I also tried Dim MyString as Stringbuilder and system.stringbu ilder but I just get errors Stringbuilder.
Add 'Imports System.Text' on top of your file.

I thank everyone for the help.
I didn't copy and paste.
I did the below which works just fine.
Dim QM as chr(39)
Do Until InStr(TransDesc ription, QM) = 0
Mid(TransDescri ption, InStr(TransDesc ription, QM), 1) = " "
Loop
But I think I will replace it with
TransDescriptio n=Transdescript ion.replace("'" ," ")
And I will look into the parameterized command url (hope it has examples!)
Could you imagine a world where learning by example wasn't allowed?
Thanks again

for Sql statements you should *double* the quote, not remove them!
Mystring = Mystring.replac e("'", "''")

Hi,
I know this has been asked before, but reading the threads it is still not
entirely clear.
Deciding which .Replace( ) to use when.
Typically if I create a string in a loop I always use a StringBuilder. At
present I am
porting a VB6 webclass app to VB.NET and therefore I am trying to make it as
efficent as possible via the new functionality of VB.NET.

Hi Newsgroup,
I have given an answer in this newsgroup about a "Replace".
There came an answer on that I did not understand, so I have done some
tests.
I got the idea that someone said, that the split method and the
regex.replace method was better than the string.replace method and replace
function. I did not believe that.

I was trying to use back-to-back replace functions to convert a url:
str1 =
str.replace("%2F","/").replace("%3F","?").replace("%3D","=").replace("%2

It didn't replace all 4 types of strings.
Then, I googled and found this suggestion of some JavaScript Tutorials,
so I used replace with a regex with a global switch:
