I am retrieving string values from a table and then encode each term to make a httpwebrequest to an api. It works fine and the terms allow for foreign characters like japanese/arabic/chinese etc and these are inserted fine. The problem occurs when some of these terms contain weird characters and that is when the request is bad. The only reason it is bad xml and the template I follow gets invalid are when these characters are present. I use the
system.securityelement.escape And also httputility.htmlencode As part of my cleanup. One of the weird characters ends up appearing as a space but it is not since the trim(term) does not work and when I look at the xml in visual studio it looks like an ' &' with arrow pointing up attached to it. It does not appear after I pasted it here.It appears as a line feed or carriage return and I have tried to remove that too. Anyway is there some way I can ensure that these sort of characters are removed and if I were to use the binary values like <32 invalid, will foreign characters then get excluded.

I found this function that replaces multiple substrings within a string on the internet but it gives an error on one of the parameters.It doesn't like this one:
ByVal ParamArray FindChars()) As String
Can you look at the code and correct the error since I don't yet know about explicitly typed parameters?

I used a StreamReader and StreamWriter with UTF-8 encoding to find and replace chars in files. Some of the chars were replaced with the Unicode default char of � OR �. I found that for this I should have used encoding 1252 so I'm set for future changes but how do I fix the files that have been cluttered with the default char? Is there a way to do this with StreamReader?
I'm developping an ASP.NET application, and I need to use an old VBScript file that would be really hard to translate into pure VB in a VB function.
This VBScript is supposed to return an array that I'd like to use it in the VB function that called it.
How could I call the VBScript function in my VB application and use the value it returned?
I've search how to do so through many forum and FAQ, but it seems that these results where mainly focused on old version of the .NET framework.[code]...

How to clean up a string in Visual Basic .NET? I'm creating a string as a report with line breaks. However, the string is built based off of screen scrapes from a TN3270 emulator. The string is saved successfully with all of the data I require, but those annoying rectangle symbols show up once I send it to a notepad text file. Do you know anyway I can strip those out and clean up the output?
