Answer 2

You could use a regular expression and then run the following. You'll need to change the regular expression accordingly.

Const PATTERN = "\W"
Dim objRegEx
Dim strReplacedString : strReplacedString = ""
Set objRegEx= New RegExp 
objRegEx.Pattern = PATTERN 
objRegEx.IgnoreCase = True 
objRegEx.Global = True 
strReplacedString = objRegEx.Replace(strToProcess,"")
Set objRegEx = Nothing
