Subject:      Removing unwanted characters
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

How can I remove an unwanted character(s) from a value.  For example,
if I have the Variable PET and it has an entry "Dog"...how can I
remove the quotes to produce just Dog.  Since every value has quotes
I'd like to remove them across the variable.  I realize that I could
export to a text editor, replace the " with a blank, and import it
again but I wonder if there is another way to do it.

Thanks,
Derek
