VB Mid() funtion in C#

[Tom J \(Darth\)]

Is there by chance a function in C# that can be used just like the built-in
Mid(str,z,z) in VB?

[William Ryan]

I think Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.Mid( , ); should work.

There are equivalent method in C# string class. Couldn't remember
exactly what is the method name, but it is there.

Better to avoid the Visual Basic functions.

That reduces portability to other implementations, however, and doesn't
exactly produce idiomatic C# - using String.Substring is far
preferable, IMO.

Michael,

I am curious, why do you say that?

Thanks to all for your input. I am finding that the following statement:
if Mid(Record.GetString(2),1,1) != "9"

Causes a red underscore to appear under Mid and after the quoted string
variable (in this case "9") when I enter this statement under VS .NET Studio
2003. I believe the (String.Substring function) is a better option at this
point. My resolved statement looks something like this:

if (Record.GetString(2).Substring(0,1) != "9")

I'll keep you guys posted as to the outcome of this trial when I try to
Build and run my project.

Thanks again....Tom J

This is a few reasons I can think of. If you used the vb functions the world won't grid to a halt but I think it is better not to
use them.

Easier to transfer code to other languages.
Consistancy with other programmers.
There would be a small speed difference because the VB library would need to be loaded.

Tom,

The Substring method of the String object should do the trick. It's not a
static method, so call it against the string object you want to parse.

HTH,
