Find / Replace within a String for Windows Forms and Visual Basic .NET -

Question

I have an issue with finding a specific text within a string and then replacing it with " ", which is just a blank entry.

Dim ABCTEST As String
ABCTEST = previousJob.Comments.ToString() + currentJob.Comments.ToString()

So now my issue is to search the ABCTEST text and delete text such as "Tier Market" from it. Then pass it to a new string perhaps ABCTEST_NEW.

I know I might have to use a for loop to search out the keywords, but all the examples I have had a look at, are very broad.

Use of "&" is recommended over "+" for string concatenation in VB.NET (it is different in C#). — Peter Mortensen
