Use the .Replace method of the string
..Replace("char that will be replaced","char to replace original char")

Dim temp as string = "ThisStringIsAT est"
Dim result as string = temp.Replace("T ","$")
'Replaces every occurence of "T" with "$"

Hi,

It may sound silly, but...

Try the string's Replace method. Example:

Buffer = Buffer.Replace( comecharsequenc e, someothercharse quence)
