weird characters showing up in html

I have a project that gets input from an xml file that we extract information from select nodes.

One of the does we take the info and just output in a <pre> tag since it's already formated from source.

We started seeing all these B's in the output so I ran a loop through all the characters and display the ascii value to see what it is and this is what I get in return.

How I get value:

Code:

---

For x=1 To Len(str)
        result = result & Mid(str, x, 1) & "(" & Asc(Mid(str, x, 1)) & ")"
Next

---

Result for the character in question:
В (-15712)

Any ideas how I can strip these out?

Thanks.

Try:

Code:

---

str = Replace(str, ChrW(-15712), vbNullString)

---

BTW, your "weird" character appears to be a Korean character: 슠

Thanks for the reply. That didn't work but did end up trying some regex and seems to work.

Code:

---

strPattern = "[^\x20-\x7E\t\f\n\r]"
strReplace = " "
outstr = RegExpReplace(outstr, strPattern, strReplace)

Function RegExpReplace(Str, Pattern, Replacement)
        Set objRegExp = New RegExp
        objRegExp.Pattern = Pattern
        objRegExp.Global = True
            objRegExp.IgnoreCase = True
        RegExpReplace = objRegExp.Replace(Str, Replacement)
        Set objRegExp = Nothing
End Function
