how to pick out characters from a variable? 1

[JohanF]

A simple question.. I guess!

The Time function returns a value like this: 02:08:30. I need to pick out the hour from the Time function, that is in this case "02" and then put 02 in a new variable.

<%
Dim realtime, hour
realtime = Time
hour = ?????

%>

Anyone?

You can get the hour by doing this:

Dim strHour

strHour = hour(time)

If you are trying to get the hour out of a &quot;set&quot; time and not the realtime then use DatePart

Dim strTime, strTheHour

strTime = "02:08:30"

strTheHour = DatePart("h",strTime)

You also could change strTime to Time...


Hope that helps.
