[resolved]shrink a string?

is there a way to shrink a string like this:

httttttttttttttttttttttttdklfkgdlgkdlgk33333333333 (this is 50 characters long)

is there a way to shrink it to 45 characters?

What part do you want to delete? You could use str=left$(str,45) to get the left 45 characters.

If the string is typed into a textbox then you get set the MaxLength property to 45.

thanks for the help

And str=right$(str,45) gives you the right 45 characters
