Hello,

If you declare a string and you can simply use the functions as follows:-

Dim s As String
s = Left(s, length)
s = Mid(s, start, length)
s = Right(s, length)

Substring function is provided instead of using of the above.

E.g.

Dim s As String
s = s.SubString(start)
s = s.Substring(start, length)

Where start = the index of the character to start from,
and length = the number of characters to take.

Hope this helps,
Simon Jefferies

I qualify these methods with the module that contains them:

'Strings.Left', 'Strings.Right', 'Strings.Mid'.

if I use the mid-function, it works, but if I use left-function it does not
work
Here is the code:
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
Dim s As String
s = TextBox1.Text
s = Mid(s, 3, 4)
Label1.Text = s
End Sub

Hello,

In what way does it not work?

You seem to be retrieving the middle part of a string from a textbox entry,
where as using the Left function is to return the leftmost characters only.
You may get an error if you try to retrieve letters from a string when there
aren't enough in it?

I enjoy watching these threads, the irritation is muted but obvious
nevertheless ;-)

It may be that Left is a property of forms and controls and if this is used
in a Form class, it probably won't work. Try importing Microsoft Visual
Basic like

Imports vb = Microsoft.VisualBasic
You can then use VB.Left(xxx,3) or whatever.
