Find, del char from string?

[Ed]

str1="abcdefg"
str2="cd"
If str2 is found in str1, then delete the characters of str2 from str1.
What do I need to do this?

Join(Split(str1, str2, 2), "")

Sorry - that should of course be ..

str1 = Join(Split(str1, str2, 2), "")

Or

Replace(str1, str2, "")

Join(Split(str1, str2, 2), "")

 

[Tony Jollans]

The difference between the two is how many occurrences of str2 are removed

Thank you, Tony and Jay. Replace seems to do it for me.

OK, but be careful... Tony's right. The Replace function will remove
all occurrences of str2 from str1 if there are multiples, while the
Split/Join method removes only the first one.
