easy string question

What is a good way to return all but the first character of a string?

ie: f(U234)=234 f(U1)=1

what is a good f ?

Thanks for any help!

was the double entendre on purpose;)

VB Code:

x=mid(y,2)

but replace x and y with suitable string names

sTemp = "f(U234)"
stemp = right(stemp,len(stemp)-1)
