formatting string - ASP / Active Server Pages

dave

Hi There
I have one string variable and value is stored something
like this when I checked using
Response.write st_toadd
It displayed something like this
"John Matthew" <jo**@abc.com.au>

I want to grab only email address
i.e. value between "<" and ">"
and it should give me only jo**@abc.com.au

what could be the syntax??

thanx for help
dave

To get everything between the < and > in a string, perhaps try something
like this:

intFirstPos = InStr(strMyString, "<")
intFinalPos = InStr(strMyString, ">")

strEmail = Mid(strMyString, IntFirstPos + 1, intFinalPos - intFirstPos -
1)
