Remove character from string in VB6

I have some strings (file paths) that sometimes have randomly placed line breaks (CRLF) inside of them that I have to remove. How would I go about doing that?

Have a look at the Replace(..) function.

someVariable = Replace(someVariable, vbNewLine, "")

This will remove all CRLFs in your string.

strFileName = Replace(strFileName, vbNewLine, "")

Here is a function you can put in a helper module:

Public Function CleanFilePath(FilePath As String) As String
    Return Replace(FilePath, vbNewLine, "")
End Function

EDIT:

Alternatively, here is a helper subroutine to modify the string itself. This is not standard practice in newer languages, though.

Public Sub CleanFilePath(ByRef FilePath As String)
    FilePath = Replace(FilePath, vbNewLine, "")
End Sub

Replace$() replaces;

path = Replace$(path, vbcrlf, "")
