In VB, there's no equivalent to VFP's strtran.

To search for a string in another string, use InStr().
You'll have to get the left portion with Left(), the right portion with Right() and put all 3 strings together: Left() & NewString & Right().

Instead of Left() and Right(), you can use Mid().

More code then VFP. :-(
