Open Data File, make change and save

[janerussel]

I'm a new VB programmer.

I need to open a data file that contains the "*" symbol throughout the document. I need to remove these symbols and then save the data file.

Can anyone help. Also, is there a good site for viewing code samples anyone can suggest.

Thanks

you can do it to read the datafile (File Open etc,read all lines) and then with this functie you can move the "*" :

Public Function ReplaceAll(searchstring As String, _
findstring As String, replacestring As String) As String
Dim curpos As Long
curpos = 1
Do
curpos = InStr(curpos, searchstring, findstring)
searchstring = Left$(searchstring, curpos - 1) & _
replacestring & Right$(searchstring, Len(searchstring) _
- curpos - Len(findstring) + 1)
Loop Until InStr(searchstring, findstring) = 0
ReplaceAll = searchstring
End Function

Dim Result As String

Result =ReplaceAll("*", " &quot

End Sub
