Fantastically simple question

Hello All,

I am really sorry to ask you this as it is so easy and obvious in other languages, but not in VB (well for me )
and the helpfile is not helping either.

I have used the Instr function to ascertain positions of substrings I was looking for, no problem, however, I would like to select a substring now...
how do I get a substring of a string?

If myVar is a String variable,
I can not do myvar(pos1,pos2) and I can also not see any related functions.

Can anyone help me out of my misery please ;-)
Thanks Much
EvE

Look up Mid and Mid$ functions in the help system.

Oh brilliant thanks.
Sorry, but it was not intuitive for me to lookup/use Mid - it means something completely different to me!

Best Rgds,
