Editing Text Files using VBA

[ROBBOLL]

Hello VBA Experts!

I am trying to clean up a data file that imported some bullets and treats them like carriage returns.

I am able to Open strFile For Binary Access etc. and delete the unwanted carriage returns and line feeds.

The bullets are shown as a quotation mark followed by a tab ( e.g., "-> ) at the beginning of each line. Example: "->test -> test ->test
So I only need to delete the first tab proceeded by a quotation mark.

The code I have been trying unsuccessfully is:

If InStr(1, strBuffer, "CHR(34)") = 1 Then
strBuffer = Replace(strBuffer, vbTab, "")
End If

Is there VBA code for replacing the "-> at the beginning of the line with a ""

Any help appreciated with this!

Thank you,
