    string

    the cobe below grabs the the last 8 characters of my string. I need the first 8 characters...anyone know how I can grab the first 8 characters?

    thanks

    VB Code:
    1. tranperiod = tranperiod.Substring(tranperiod.Length - 8)
    It's tough being an unhandled exception...

    tranperiod = tranperiod.Substring(0, 8)

    Something like that. It is a overloaded method. You should be able to set the start index, and the length.

    How about

    VB Code:
    1. tranperiod = tranperiod.Substring(1, 8)
    This world is not my home. I'm just passing through.
