title: How to remove character from a given DataTable column?
body: <p>I have a column <code>TOTAL_DOLLARS</code> that holds <code>String</code> values that I want to convert to <code>Decimal</code>.  However, these values also have a <code>$</code> character preceding them (as they are dollar amounts).  I want to remove this <code>$</code> character, though I can't quite find a method to do so.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I'm trying:</p>
  
  <pre><code>For Each row As DataRow In myTable.Rows
      Replace(row.Item("TOTAL_DOLLARS"), "$", "")
  Next
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help is much appreciated.</p>
