how to trim 2 chars from the right 1

[flashbbeb]

Hello,

I'm sure this is easier than I think (newbie), but how do I trim a couple characters from the right of a string?

I'm trying to extract a 4 or 5 digit number and have only gotten so far in the task.

uniqueNumber1 = nameLink.GetROProperty("href")
'returns the javascript URL
uniqueNumber2 = Mid(uniqueNumber1,35)
'goes 35 chars into the string so for example I'll get 5832);

How would remove just those last two characters (close paren and semi-colon) from the right?

Thanks,
EB

left(uniqueNumber1,len(uniqueNumber1)-2)

Just got it.

uniqueNumberBLAH = Left(uniqueNumber2,Len(uniqueNumber2) - 2)
