substr

[mike@work]

Please reply to this question. Previous one went to home email address. I'm at work.

Is there a substr equivelent in VB. I use it in perl. I want to be able to extra "pm" in a date variable

[Andrew_Fryer]

use the Mid function

Have a look also at instr function. It will help you find what you want inside a string (to give correct parameter to Mid function when you do not know exactly how is written a string)

You can make your own function, 'cause I don't think there's a good function...

Something like this I guess?

char* subStrng(char* const chrOrig, int begin, int size)
{	
	char *chrNew = new char[size];
	
	for (int i=0; i<size; i++) {
		chrNew[i] = chrOrig[i+begin];
	}
	
	return chrNew;
}

Edit;
I think CString has a mid-function... maybe you can use that;
