Deleting Charactors in a string

[Dan688]

Im trying to delete the first two charactors of a string that I have in string:

strInput

I was using strInput = Left(strInput,2)- Space (2) but thats a type mismatch!

Maybe simple but I cant see how!

Many Thanks,

Try this :

X= Len(StrInput)
strInput = Mid(strInput,2,X)

Or just:

strInput = Mid(strInput,3)

 

[johnwm]

Or :
strInput = Right$(strInput, (len(strInput)-2)

And because I'm particularly tired and my mind is wandering, here is a effective but completely ridiculous solution:

Option Explicit

Private Type JustSilly
    NotWanted As String * 2
    RestOfString As String * 4096
End Type

Private Type Buffer
    Temp As String * 4098
End Type

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim strSource As Buffer
    Dim strSpoon As JustSilly
    
    strSource.Temp = "Hello there"
    
    LSet strSpoon = strSource
    Debug.Print Trim(strSpoon.RestOfString)

End Sub

Ooooooooo, equivalencing - brings me back to my old Fortran days - wait a minute - I still use it (only when I have to!).

I guess no matter how many advancements are made in languages, some things never go away! ;-)
