[2005] RemoveTextbox

Hi all,
I have a textbox with values as ";1;2;3;" and may be "1"
I want to remove either 1 or 2 or 3 with the ; symbol.Please note that the value may be without ; , if it is single value

Thanks in Advance
Dana

I'm using two textboxes for demonstration only so change it as necessary:

Code:

---

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    TextBox2.Text = StripCharacter(TextBox1.Text, "1;")
End Sub

Private Function StripCharacter(ByVal source As String, ByVal mychar As String) As String
Dim result As String

    If source.IndexOf(mychar) >= 0 Then
        result = source.Substring(source.IndexOf(mychar) + mychar.Length)
    Else
        result = source
    End If

    Return result

End Function

You have to try it to see how it works.
