Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Since you have some accented characters to replace, then you can do it this way:
Put each the character (both regular & accented character)in separate cells in sheet2 col A starting cell A1.


<tbody>
[TD="class: xl65"][/TD]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 64"]A[/TD]

[TD="class: xl65, align: right"]1[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"]a[/TD]

[TD="class: xl65, align: right"]2[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"]r[/TD]

[TD="class: xl65, align: right"]3[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"]ş[/TD]

[TD="class: xl65, align: right"]4[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"]ö[/TD]

[TD="class: xl65, align: right"]5[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"]ğ[/TD]

[TD="class: xl65, align: right"]6[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"]o[/TD]

</tbody>


Then run this macro (the sheet with the data must be the active sheet):

Code:
[FONT=lucida console][COLOR=Royalblue]Sub[/COLOR] a1087956a()
[I][COLOR=seagreen]'https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/1087956-deleting-some-characters-excel-macro-code.html[/COLOR][/I]
[COLOR=Royalblue]Dim[/COLOR] rng [COLOR=Royalblue]As[/COLOR] Range, r [COLOR=Royalblue]As[/COLOR] Range
[COLOR=Royalblue]With[/COLOR] Sheets([COLOR=brown]"Sheet2"[/COLOR])
[COLOR=Royalblue]Set[/COLOR] rng = .Range([COLOR=brown]"A1"[/COLOR], .Cells(.Rows.count, [COLOR=brown]"A"[/COLOR]).[COLOR=Royalblue]End[/COLOR](xlUp))
[COLOR=Royalblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]With[/COLOR]

    [COLOR=Royalblue]For[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]Each[/COLOR] r [COLOR=Royalblue]In[/COLOR] rng
    Cells.Replace What:=r, Replacement:=[COLOR=brown]""[/COLOR], LookAt:=xlPart, _
         MatchCase:=[COLOR=Royalblue]True[/COLOR], SearchFormat:=[COLOR=Royalblue]False[/COLOR], ReplaceFormat:=[COLOR=Royalblue]False[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=Royalblue]Next[/COLOR]
    
[COLOR=Royalblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]Sub[/COLOR][/FONT]

Hm, that’s beyond my knowledge.
But if you can have a list of all characters that isn’t Arabic or Persian in your file then just put the list in col A like I described above. It seems your file is a dictionary, what are other language used in it?

thank you very much dear friend. thanks. no problem i will wait and search for solution.

Sorry, I can’t find with a solution. Maybe someone else here could help.
Or I suggest you get help from another forum that has Word Help section, such as:
http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?20-Word-Help
because actually Word is better in dealing with words & character, so I believe you get better chance to get a solution.
