How to Convert "TEXT" to TEXT? Remove the quotations?

[IanL]

I have a text file that I load into a list box(seems easier to search and use index to reference items in list).

It starts out like this:

begin general_information
&nbsp name "Example"
&nbsp designer "Steve McNally"



I need to get rid of the quotation marks from both sides of the word "Example" and "Steve McNally".
I can get rid of the mark on the left with Mid (String)

txtName = Mid(List2.List(1), 9) wich produces: Example"
txtDesigner = Mid(List2.List(2), 13) &nbspproduces: Steve McNally"

I've tried mixing the Mid function with the Left and the Right functions, but get odd results like: ample""Ex

Then, I'm going to print it back to a text file, but I'll be able to Print the " " back around them no problem.

I'd appreciate any help. I'm still kind of a novice so, if you could just paste some code please.

Use the Replace function......

[Illspirit]

quickest way would be

Dim s As String
    s = """blah"""
    s = Replace(s, """", vbNullString)

but that would get rid of all quoty things
