Left function

[AndyC]

In my program I have strings like " 49 49 13 49 23 49" without the quotes and I use Trim to take away spaces then Left to take the firt two numbers but how can I "cut" the numbers out of the string?

Andy

geez, thanks. I 'assumed' AndyC had a brain, my mistake.

Could somebody please tell me how to use the Trim$(string)? I used this code to remove all the spaces but it did not work:

Trim(strString)

Whats wrong with that?

Thanks

it trims the all of the spaces before and after a string but not within the string. If you want to replace all of the spaces in a string try:

somevariable = replace("your string",Chr(32),"")

that removes all of the spaces in your string

use mid(string, start, length)

seeing as pvb didn't bother explaining it, this is how you use the MID function...

if you want the third number (13) do this:

MyNumber = mid(YourString, 7, 2)


"MyNumber" now contains the string "13", 7 in the brackets is the starting point of the desired string and "13" is 2 characters long, hence the 2 in the brackets.

if you want to convert this "13" into a number instead of a string, then use...

val(mid(YourString, 7, 2))

instead.
