special characters in VB6.0

Hi all,

How can I pass special characters into a function, such as :
I want to replace " in mystring
mystring = replace(mystrin g,"\"","") <--not working

same as in C#
mystring = mystring.Replac e("\"", " ")

thanks

Hi, Is it possible to use special characters like \n or \t in a VB.NET string, just like in C#? My guess is NO, but maybe there's something I don't know. If it's not possible, does anybody know of a VB.NET function (somebody must have coded this already) that will interpret strings containings those special characters, and handle them the same as in C#?
