How to use parts of a String

[thomasc1020]

This discussion is about VB.NET 2003.

Suppose we received 300 bytes input from a serial port, which are
numbered as B001, B002,..., B300.

I want to save all 300 bytes and diplay only parts of the input, say,
B037 to B060, and B113 to 396.
Now I am using a String to buffer the input. But I have no idea how to
pick out and display parts of the String.

Should I use a String array to do this?
What would be the best way to design the code for such operation?

Please help.
Thank you!

Look up the String class in 'Help' and you'll see the String has many
properties and methods you can work with.
And google will respond with examples galore - here's one:
