Excel vba删除“？” （问号）和“*”（星号）

Question

I am trying to replace all special characters in an Excel sheet.

But ? (question mark) and * (asterisk) are resulting in a blank cell

The code I'm using:

Selection.Replace What:="!", Replacement:=" "
Selection.Replace What:="@", Replacement:=" "
Selection.Replace What:="#", Replacement:=" "

.... so on

Answer 1

Question marks and asterisks are known as wildcards in find and replace functions, this means they already mean something other than their string values. In order to get round this you need to precede them with a tilde (~).

Try:

Selection.Replace What:="~?", Replacement:=" "
Selection.Replace What:="~*", Replacement:=" "

Answer 2

Use regular expressions: http://analystcave.com/excel-regex-tutorial/

It's a much more versatile way to do text-matching anyway.
