Stripping a String

[solidjp]

I have a string with a value that looks like this "w81flr05102202". I need to only get the first six characters out of that string. How do I do that in VB. I was thinking of using the Split function but didn't see any delimiter I could use.

Here you go

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Command1.Caption = Left$("w81flr05102202", 6)
End Sub

Hope this helps. If you choose to battle wits with the witless be prepared to lose.

Use:

Left$(mystring,6)
