Dotnet class to remove a tab character

jwilder

I can remove tab characters with normal NAV code by searching each character in a string. But I was thinking there might be a dotnet class to make this easier and faster. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

With Which:

Which := 'X';
Which[1] := 9;

This should be fast enough

NewString := DELCHR(String[, Where][, Which])

No need for dotnet in this case.

This snip of code uses DotNet to strip null characters - should be easy enough to change. It also has file handling, which may not be applicable.

StripNulls(PassedFile : Text)
IF NOT FSOFile.Exists(PassedFile) THEN
ERROR(Text002, PassedFile);

Null := 0;
Space := 32;

StreamReader := FSOFile.OpenRead(PassedFile);
StringArray := FSOFile.ReadAllLines(PassedFile);
StreamReader.Close();

FOR X := 0 TO StringArray.Length() - 1 DO BEGIN
DotNetString := StringArray.GetValue(X);
DotNetString := DotNetString.Replace(Null, Space);
StringArray.SetValue(DotNetString, X);
END;

FSOFile.WriteAllLines(PassedFile, StringArray);
StreamReader.Close();
StreamReader.Dispose();
CLEAR(FSOFile);
CLEAR(StringArray);
