Invalid Characters

Question

Hi haven't been using vb for very long and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction for removing invalid characters that are entered in a textbox for example if the user adds dashes of spaces?

This is from the help file for the Replace method: Function CleanInput(strIn As String) As String ' Replace invalid characters with empty strings. Return Regex.Replace(strIn [^\w\.@-] ) End Function You could also just do them separately: Replace(teststring$   ) Replace(teststring$ - )
