Remove Last Character from String Variable 2

Mike555 · Dec 28, 2004

How can you remove the last character from a string variabler?

For example, change MikeX to Mike as shown below.

Code:

[blue]Dim[/blue] strName [blue]as String[/blue]
strName = "MikeX"
[b]strName after removing last character = "Mike"[/b]

Thanks.

Regards,
Mike

Code:

strName = left(strName,len(strName)-1)

not sure if len is the length property of the string.

strName.Substring(0, (strName.Length - 1))

ThatRickGuy have got a star but his shorter solution will return only X.
stnkyminky has the correct and also .Net solution.
