I'm trying to delete a text between two text lines in a variable "RangeToHtml". I want to delete everything between
PHP:
<![if supportMisalignedColumns]>
and
PHP:
<![endif]>
, which present only once in the whole code.


PHP:
<![if supportMisalignedColumns]> 
  <tr height=0 style='display:none'>
  <td width=76 style='width:57pt'></td>
  <td width=216 style='width:162pt'></td>
  <td width=113 style='width:85pt'></td>
  <td width=120 style='width:90pt'></td>
  <td width=56 style='width:42pt'></td>
 </tr>
 <![endif]>


I've tried to use the code below, which gave me no result.
PHP:
RangetoHTML = Replace(RangetoHTML, "<![if supportMisalignedColumns]>*<![endif]>", "")

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
Code:
Dim startChar As Long
Dim endChar As Long

startChar = InStr(1, RangetoHTML, "<![if supportMisalignedColumns]>")
endChar = InStr(startChar, RangetoHTML, "<![endif]>")

RangetoHTML = Left(RangetoHTML, startChar - 1) & Mid(RangetoHTML, endChar + 10)

You could also try
Code:
RangeToHtml = Split(RangeToHtml, "<![if supportMisalignedColumns]>")(0) & Split(RangeToHtml, "<![endif]>")(1)

The problem with this is if <![endif]> also appears before the first string.
Perhaps I misinterpreted ..
.. and
PHP:
<![endif]>
, which present only once in the whole code.

If what you suggest is possible then we can still do it with a similar method
Code:
RangeToHtml = Split(RangeToHtml, "<![if supportMisalignedColumns]>")(0) & Split(Split(RangeToHtml, "<![if supportMisalignedColumns]>")(1), "<![endif]>")(1)
