Remove numeric characters from a string
I have this code which should remove the numeric characters - but I keep getting the error:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'
Expected end of statement
/piac/test-remove.asp, line 8
Dim initialString As String = "XXXXXX-06-X-1234"
------------------^
I also saw another solution which I tried:
<%
Reg = New RegExp
Reg.Global=true
Reg.IgnoreCase=true
Reg.Pattern="([0-9]$[-\s]*
Function RemoveNumbers(objString)
RemoveNumbers=Reg.Replace(
End Function
%>
<p>Address with no numbers: <%=RemoveNumbers("Sport utca 3")%></p>
but that returned the error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'
Object doesn't support this property or method
All I want to do is take a value for a field from a DB that is a text string, remove the numbers and then render the field without the numbers.
Any help would be apreciated.

That partially helped...
but how do I deal with the other lines?
The attached code is what I have.
The following error is returned:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0408'
Invalid character
/piac/test-remove.asp, line 11
nonNumericCharacters = New System.Text.RegularExpress

remove the @. that is for .net to make sure the \ inside the string would be use as such, and not as escape character. which is not not needed in vbscript

that is part of the .net framework, which I fear you cannot use directly from vbs like that.
but, there is some alternative for vbs:

OK. Then I need to change my question.
Can someone write me some code for classic ASP with VBScript that can take a string and remove (or replace with spaces) any numbers then return the altered string.

Final code:
<%
Dim initialString
initialString = "XXXXXX-06-X-1234"
Dim i
for i = 0 to 9
initialString = replace(initialString , "" & i, " ")
next
%>
No 'As String' in VBScript
<%
Dim initialString
initialString = "XXXXXX-06-X-1234"

next

Dim initialString As String = "XXXXXX-06-X-1234"
is vb.net.
in vbs, you need to put 2 lines:
Dim initialString
initialString = "XXXXXX-06-X-1234"
