I am looing at the post for removing text from a string MsgBox Right(Mystring, Len(Mystring) – 1). This places a msgbox on screen but does not change the text in the cell. How do I change the text string in the cell?

@Steve – If I understand what your after, this is easy with Replace:

newString = Replace(oldString, “-”, “”)

sorry, should read.

newstring = Left(oldstring, InStr(oldstring, “-”) – 1) & Right(oldstring, InStr(oldstring, “-”) – 1)

I’m also looking for this function if anyone knows it. I’m having to make do with the following at the moment,

oldstring = “111-111″

newstring = Left(oldstring, InStr(oldstring, “-”) – 1) & Right(oldstring, InStr(oldstring, “-”) + 1)

Its a bit naff and only works if theres 1 instance of “-”.

thanks.
