[RESOLVED] How to add characters to the beginning of a string

**BrianPaul** · Jan 31st, 2008, 08:51 AM

I have a string variable that I would like to add 2 characters to the left side of the string. For example...

strServerName = myserver and I would like to change it to \\myserver.

What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks!

Would this work for you?

vb Code:

strServerName = "\\" & myserver

Would this work for you?

Code:

Dim myServer As String

    myServer = "whatever"

    If Left(Trim(myServer), 2) <> "\\" Then
        myServer = "\\" & Trim(myServer)
    End If

Of course... strServerName = "\\" & strServerName

I must not be thinking right today

Thanks for the help!
