Left in Javascript ?

Hi all, can anyone please give me a regular expression or similar to grab the first character of a string please?
I.e. (Like VB's Left function) returning "A" from the string "Alex" ?

Thanks All !

the substr function

Try this.

Code:

---

myFirstChar = myString.match(/^./);

---

If that doesn't work, then find a book. :)

Thanks - big shout out to both of yous guys ! :D
