hey all,

given a string, if i only wanted to get only letters and number (no symbols)
is there a function to do this?
i.e.
"Los Angeles, CA"
i don't want the comma.

thanks,
rodchar

Hi,

        Use a regular expression.

Dim regText As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$ ")

Trace.WriteLine(regText.IsMatch("Los Angeles, CA"))
