Hey all,
I have a file name like Eng-Cat-01-01-01.txt. I need to do a loop that
starts stripping the letters from the front of this file name (which
I'll store as a variable) until it reaches the "Cat" part. So I would
have a variable "Cat-01-01-01.txt" that I can use to build up another
string.
Trouble is, I'm lost. Can't figure out how to do this in VB.net. Could
anyone point me in the right direction?
MANY thanks!

You should probably convert the strings to all upper or all lower case, but
this is the idea.
Dim fn As String = "Eng-Cat-01-01-01.txt"
Console.Out.Wri teLine(fn.Subst ring(fn.IndexOf ("Cat")))

Hey guys, one more thing you might be able to help with: I've got a
string of text in a label (about 10 or so letters). I need to search it
for "Mit" and replace it with "Cat". Any ideas?
Thanks again!

So you want to "Replace" one value in a "String" with a different value?
There's a couple of keywords for you to look up ... ;-)
Do you have MSDN installed or do you have access to it on the Web?
Without it, you're going to be /really/ struggling to get to grips with
the Framework and all its classes and methods.

Hi
I was hoping someone could suggest a simple way of stripping non-numeric
data from a string of numbers.
For example, if I have "ADB12458789\n"
I would like to remove the letters and the newline from this string.
I am new to C so am sure this is simple ut I don't know how to do it! Sorry!
