Android Question Substrings

[ElliotHC]

I have searched everywhere on here and can't seem to find how to get the left side part of a string.

I have "ABCDEFGHIJK" I need "ABC"

I am using

Log(MyString.Substring(3))

But I get "IJK", it's working left to right and I need right to left.[/code]

 

[mc73]

myString.substring2(0,3)

 

[DonManfred]

But I get "IJK"

Never!

    Dim str As String = "ABCDEFGHIJK"
    Log(str.SubString(3))

DEFGHIJK

Sorry, yes that is correct Don.

I was missing the 2 after substring (substring2(x,x))

I couldn't get it to work.

Im Confused ...

Sorry @DonManfred ... I'd go with @mc73

... Or are we still a bit shell shocked from New Years Celebrations ?


Edit ... @DonManfred ... Apology .. I reread / get your post now .

 

[DonManfred]

Sorry @DonManfred ... I'd go with @mc73

his answer is something other than mine.
I just stated that

str.SubString(3)

NEVER returns IJK when the str is "ABCDEFGHIJK"

But I get "IJK"

away from that the TO is giving unclear questions.

I have "ABCDEFGHIJK" I need "ABC"

and later he wrote (same post)

But I get "IJK", it's working left to right and I need right to left.

So i was only concentrating on the wrong result from Substring(3)
