Removing a Querystring Name & Value

Below, I'm trying to remove the querystring name& value of "catID=12".
I mananged to isolate the RESULTS part, but I need to be able to strip the
querystring name and it's value, no matter if the value is 1, 2 or 3 digits.
I chose to isolate the part I'd be removing below because I know I can take
it
and run a replace and get correct string, although I hardcoded the qs name.

Basically, I'd like to end up with a function that I could just pass the
name of the querystring and the function would remove the qs name and it's
value.

One other issue, if the querystring name and value are the only part of the
querystring, I need to delete the "?" within the qs.

Any help?

CODE:

sQueryString = "millID=2&catID=12"

iMarker = InStr(sQueryString ,"catID")
mystring= Right(sQueryString ,Len(sQueryString )-iMarker+1)
RESULTS:
mystring=catID=1

My code is fine. However, you may be cutting and pasting in a non-standard
way such that the paste operation is interpreting the occurrences of "&para"
as the paragraph entity character. Try the following:

1. Open Outlook Express and highlight the code I provided
2. Hit CTRL+C to copy the text into the copy/paste buffer
3. Open Notepad
4. Hit CTRL+V to paste the copied text into the Notepad window.
5. Hit CTRL+S to save the file. Save the file with a ".asp" extension and
place it somewhere in your web directory
6. Open Internet Explorer and navigate to the newly saved file.
7. Report back on whether or not this solves your problem.

my browser is showing paragraph marks where ampersand marks should be, and
formula is wrong.

this is results after changing the qs name, your previous code rendered
paragraph marks. see the problem?

i'm a quadraplegic, i'm in a hospital, can you help me fix a function as
described before? it's really hard for me to type.

?myparam2=02&myparam3=003
?myparam1=1&myparam3=003
?myparam1=1&myparam2=02

I'm sorry to here about your condition. I can empathize as I am also
disabled and have spent considerable time hospitalized. Would it be possible
for you to show my previous reply to a nurse, aide or a computer savvy
visitor? Cutting and pasting the code I provided should be a simple
procedure for anyone who has even a small bit of experience with computers.
I would also strongly recommend that you speak with an occupational
therapist about getting adaptive technologies to facilitate the use of
computers.

Sigh. I'd be happy to "fix" my code. Just tell me what's wrong with it.
Otherwise, you probably are better off reposting, since I am obviously
missing something. Good luck.

stupidity. the medication is affecting my brain more than i thought.

No problem. Please don't hesitate to post again if you have any other
