i have got a string called oldname which holds some information

however i need to remove the first 11 characters from this string

can it be done and how please.

i have been looking on the nex and the closest that i can find is Left() which only uses the first 11 characters but i get hold of the rest

thankx in advance

Hi,

Use the mid(STRING, STARTPOSITION, ENDPOSITION) function.

In your case to remove the first 11 characters it would be:

<%
// If endposition attribute is not declared, will just read to the end...
// ...of the string
response.write mid(your_string, 12)
%>

Hope this helps!

or left(string,length) or right(string,length)
