Is there a function remove the right-most X number of characters?


For example...

Code: 
sMyString = "filename.log"
sShortFilename = chopString (sMyString, right, 4)

sShortFilename would now be "filename".


Anything like that exist in VBS?

Thanks,
Andrew

sShortFilename = Left(sMyString, Len(sMyString) - 4)

Hope This Helps, PH.
