String Subtraction?

[robbaggio]

Say i have a string that is "/directory".
Is there anyway i can manipulate the string so i can create a new string that is "directory". So basically is it possible to remove a character from a string?

Thanks for the help

use the replace method

strSource = "/directory"
strFind = "/"
strReplace = ""

strNewString = replace(strSource, strFind, strReplace)

strNewString will be "directory"

Here you go

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim sDir As String

sDir = "/directory"
sDir = Mid$(sDir, 2)
Print sDir
End Sub

Hope this helps

try var=instr(str,1,"\&quot -- this finds where the \ is, and then use mystr=right(str,len(str)-var), where mystr is the result string.

Use the (Replace Function)

newstr = Replace("/directory","/","&quot
