I have a string with 10 charaters 123456789A.
I only want the first 6 charaters followed by the last two...getting
rid of the 7th and 8th charaters.
If I use document.forms[0].MyTextBox.value =
TheString.substring([0-5])...I get the first 6 charaters.
([0-5],8,9) does not work nor does ([0-5],[8-9]) and I get just as bad
results with (0,1,2,3,4,5,8,9)
how do I get a string with the 7th and 8th charaters missing? 3 1359

I'm not quite sure what your expectations are, but the substring method
only takes two arguments: the zero-based index of the starting character,
and the index of a second character. The returned string doesn't include
the character specified by the second index.
how do I get a string with the 7th and 8th charaters missing?
To do what you want, you'll need to call the method twice:
str.substring(0, 6) + str.substring(8)

theString="123456789A"
alert(theString.substring(0,6)+theString.substring (8))

Str1 = "123456789A"
Str2 = Str1.replace(/^(......)../, "$1") // 1234569A
or Str2 = Str1.replace(/^(.{6}).{2}/, "$1") // 1234569A
Method is best suited to fixed patterns, but can be adapted for variable
numbers.
