Quotes in writing clip board to file

[JohnL55]

I want to get rid of the double quotes when inserting from the clipboard into a string.
Tried Left$ and Right$ but the double quote insert in file with write.

I tried this:
Dim Clip as string
'after copying the clipboard to the string
Clip = replace(Clip, chr(34),"")

After doing this the quotes are still in the string and show up in the file when I do the write.
How about removing characters from the file after the write? What command?

I believe you are replacing quotes with quotes. Try using the ascii value for a space.

Clip = Replace(Clip, Chr(34),Chr(60))

The actual double quotes that the application uses to denote the string are being written into the file when I write the varable to the file. The string data has not double quotes.
