Strings with quotation marks that cant be accessed

Hello everyone...
I did search for my problem but most hits concerned other problems concering the quotation mark.
My problem is this:
Within a CMS, that allows .NET code to be executed I need to assign a variable to a cms-element. That cms-element contains text.
As long as it just plain text there's no problem. If the element contains an hyperlink for example the variable assignment will not work.
Is there anyway I can alter the cms-element with vb beforehand?
The idea is to remove all html code within the cms-element before the CMS exports the page to PDF...
Accessing and altering the cms-element itself is not possible in my case...
I hope I could explain the problem properly. If not, please ask.
Any hints, workarounds or thoughts will be deeply appreciated!
Philipp
no ideas?

Stripping out punctuation marks

Is there an easy way to edit a string so that only alphabetical characters
and numbers are allowed? Thanks for your help.Try this function:

Public Function Removes(ByVal mystring As String) As String

Dim newstring As String

For Each character As Char In mystring

If Not Char.IsPunctuation(character) Then newstring &= character

Next

Return newstring

End Function

This basically loops through the string and tests whether each character is
punctuation. If it is not, it appends it to a new string. You can use the
same technique for the other Is... methods of the Char type. You can also
use the Replace method to replace all instances of a specific character with
a zero-length String as in the following:

mystring.Replace("."c,"")

The lower-case c in the code tells VB.NET to interpret the String as a Char.
Try whichever one of these works best for you, if you need more help feel
free to ask. Good Luck!
