Tripredacus 35 Posted January 6, 2012 I'm looking at the Variables and Conversions functions Reference in the helpfile and I am not certain which would be the best to use. I currently have a function that reads data from WMI, and runs a program with the name that corresponds to that data. Unfortunately, I am working with a new system and the data I am getting back contains a forwardslash, which I cannot use. In a perfect world, I may yet be able to change this data in the system itself but I need to wait a while before I can try it.If I can't replace the data itself, which option would be best to take a value being returned with a forwardslash in it to be changed to the same thing but with it removed? For example:Data contained in WMI is:ABC123/DEF456Would like to have the variable store:ABC123DEF456The reason for this request should be obvious... you cannot have a forwardslash in a filename, and I'd rather adapt this as easily as possible.

Emax 0 Posted January 6, 2012 $Variable = "1234/1234" $Variable = StringReplace($Variable,"/","") MsgBox(0,"Test",$Variable) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tripredacus 35 Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks. This worked the best: $sModel = StringStripWS ( StringReplace ( $oItem.Model , "/" , "" ) , 2 ) Twitter | MSFN | VGCollect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
