    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 !

    Try this.

    Code:
    myFirstChar = myString.match(/^./);
    If that doesn't work, then find a book.
