Strip all punctuation from a string in VB.net
punctuation, vb.net
Solution
You can use a regular expression to match anything that you want to remove:
str = Regex.Replace(str, "[^A-Za-z]+", String.Empty);
`[^...]` is a negative set that matches any character that is not in the set. You can just put any character there that you want to keep.
Problem
How do I strip all punctuation from a string in vb.net? I really do not want to do `stringname.Replace("$", "")` for every single bit of punctuation, though it would work. How do i do this quickly and efficiently? Other than coding something that codes this for me....
