String manipulation 1

[xscape]

Hi!

Just a quick question...

Please can you tell me the operator/function I can use to slice a string down into a certain number of characters!

eg If I only want to display two characters of the word hello so it comes out he. What do I use to do that?

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Left(string,length)

ex:
Dim myStr
myStr = "hello"
Response.write Left(myStr,2)

Check out the documentation for all the string functions at
