Strip different types of characters from a string

I realised that one of my earlier posts Generic Function to Copy Excel Data references a function called ‘tcStripChars’ in order to remove control characters from a cell value. This was required to prevent Excel 97 crashing when copying the .Value2 property of a cell into another cell whenever there were control characters in the value e.g. LFCR.

The function is useful for other situations as well so here it is.

Note the use of the VBA6 conditional compilation constant to generate appropriate code for your version of VBA using Enumerated Types (VBA6) or Public Constants (pre VBA6).
