String manipulation

Gday,

Ive got a string that contains a whole bunch of HTML tags - the values of
which I need to change.
For some reason the document contains a whole bunch of '', I
need to search and replace all these instances with my own string value
which would be ''

Is there some way to do a search and replace in VB without resorting to VBA?
(I cant use VBA because this piece of code is running on a server that
doesnt have office installed.)

Thanks,
Grant

strHTML = Replace(strHTML,"","",,,vbTextCompare)

adding another font tag will unbalance the tags

I think it can be done as:

Geez I feel like an idiot - I should have searched for that on msdn.

Thanks for your help!

Bob,

You are correct. I guess I just didn't think it through.

And I believe the attribute is "face," not "type."

I thought something looked wrong about it but it was 5AM and I wasn't quite
awake yet and I coudn't remmebr if it was face or style or something along
those lines! (had to call in to work to fix a problem and while I was
waiting for that I scanned the groups -- sick, I know, but at least I did
have a valid reason to be connected at that time <g>)

BTW, here's an interesting little rant on the use of font:

Oh, absolutely. FONT sucks. I've known for a long time that its use is
discouraged.
