Removing first three characters in a string - vb code

[vivekdevkar]

Hi all,

I have a problem with removing first three characters of a string in vb. I should remove only the first three characters in all strings irrespective of what is in the fourth position.

for eg... in the strings--- "Lum001" and "Lum Rev-01"

i want the result as "001" and"rev -01" respectively.

wat should i code to get this.


Thanks in advance.

Your examples are inconsistent, the second one should produce " rev-01" (note the leading space)

The code is fairly trivial:

MyNewVar=Mid(OldString,4)

If you want to be shot of trailing/leading spaces use:

MyNewVar=Trim(Mid(OldString,4))
