Thread: Using the VBA Replace function to delete an obscure character by its Hex code (Word).

  1. #1

    Using the VBA Replace function to delete an obscure character by its Hex code (Word).

    I'm trying to write a VBA statement in a Word macro that deletes an obscure character that has the Hex code of: F03C (using alt/X).

    Having got the string containing the character into the variable sSave, I'm going:

    sSave = Replace(sSave, ChrW("F03C"), "")

    But it doesn't work. What's the right code?

    Thanks

    Ah! Got it by recording a search for the character! Correct code (converted to decimal) is:

    sSave = Replace(sSave, ChrW(61500), "")

    You could also use

    sSave = Replace(sSave, ChrW(&HF03C), "")

    Thanks. I'd tried:

    sSave = Replace(sSave, ChrW(&F03C), "")

    Didn't know it should have been: &HF03C
