simplify cleaning up replace function
excel 2010 vba
userform
textbox
The code below works ok and i'm sure can be simplified , but
If a special character(s) are inside the string.
Eventually the string will become padded with <spaces>
Example:
16oz# claw hammer ! special$ amount
becomes:
16oz<space><space>claw <space>hammer<space><space
it needs to be :
16oz claw hammer special amount
Thanks
