String Variable

[eng70640]

I know that the 1st character of a unknown string variable is a number & the following characters are also numbers but do not know exactly how many following characters are numbers, so how can i exact only numbers from this string starting from the 1st character?

This leaves all the non numbers from a string

dim strInput as string
dim strResult as string

strInput = "Th1s 15 a t35t 5tr1ng"

for t=1 to len(mystring)
if Isnumeric(mid(strInput,t,1)) then
' this is a number
strResult = strResult & mid(strInput,t,1)
end if
next t
' after this loop, strresult should have the value 1153551

How can i delete the first 3 characters of a string?

[Cimperiali]

be sure the string is > 2 char
if len(mystr)> 2 then
mystr= right(mystr,len(mystr)-3)
end if
