I've taught myself quite a bit using the replace function but now I'm stumped. I have a string I want to blank, but within the string is a string that changes randomly. Example....
lnk.Description = Replace(lnk.Description, "constantconstantchangesrandomlyconstantconstant", "")

The part in bold can vary in the number of characters also, can this be done using Regex... or something?
TIA!

Code:

dim objRegex
set objRegex=new RegExp
objRegex.ignorecase=true
objRegex.global=true
objRegex.pattern="constant1(.+?)constant2"
lnk=objRegex.replace(lnk,"")
set objRegex=nothing

You're welcome, Bobby

You can teach yourself regular expressions here and then use this for local testing.
