Can these codes be summarized?

[Edmund Seet]

This macro is to remove character {A~Z, "-" , "/" , "\"}
from the string within my selected range of cells.

I'm a VBA rookie.
Can these codes be summarized?


Sub Strictly_Numbers()
With Selection
.Replace What:="-", Replacement:="",
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
.Replace What:="/", Replacement:="",
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False

A to Z is chr(65) to chr(90)

so you could shorten it this way:

dim i as long
for i = asc("A") to asc("Z")
with selection
.replace what:=chr(i), ....
end with
next i

You could set up a loop for the other 3:

dim myList as variant
dim ictr as long
mylist = array("-","/","\")
for ictr = lbound(mylist) to ubound(mylist)
with selection
.replace what:=mylist(ictr).....
end with
next ictr
