stripping inverted commons out of a word

[rjhe22]

hi
i read text in an excel file as follows

 oRng = oWSSheet.Cells.Find("UNREALIZED LOSS - FVTPL_HFT_SEC (LONG) (59612102)", , _
             Excel.XlFindLookIn.xlValues, Excel.XlLookAt.xlPart, _
             Excel.XlSearchOrder.xlByRows, Excel.XlSearchDirection.xlNext, False)
        ' MsgBox("Value '" & oRng.Value & "' found at '" & oRng.Address)
        Me.unrealse = oRng.Offset(0, 5).Valu

so in the above example it looks for the words UNREALIZED LOSS - FVTPL_HFT_SEC (LONG) (59612102)

but in one of the excel files the words are like this "UNREALIZED LOSS - FVTPL_HFT_SEC (LONG) (59612102)"
when i try to do the code as usual like the above code i get an error is there something i can put in my code to strip out the "" around the words

That would be "inverted commas", and you can do it like so:

myString = myString.Replace(ControlChars.Quote, String.Empty)
