Hey guys,

them to underscores _. Can someone please give some help with this one?

Thank you,

Use the Replace function.

Do I have to read the text character by character and replace as I find
spaces or can I create a vairable equal to textbox.text and run replace
against that variable.

thank you for your help.

I got it. This is what I did...

Dim removespaces As String
removespaces = TextBox1.Text

TextBox2.Text = Replace(removespaces, " ", "_")

Thank you,

Kevin

I was about to post an example.

Yes, that's exactly the solution.

If you are going to be doing this in various places, consider making it into
a static (Shared in VB.NET) method in a Utilities class:

Public Shared Function SpacesToUnderscores( ByVal inputText as String) As
String
Return inputText.Replace(" ","_")
End Function
