    Type mismatch while trying to omit text [SOLVED]

    I think I've posted a question like this in the past, but I have searched up and down these forums, and can't find it, so here I am.

    Anyways, this code causes a type mismatch:

    VB Code:
    1. For i = 1 To Dir1.ListCount

    2.     lvwDirListings.ListItems.Add , , Dir1.List(i) - Left$(Dir1.List(i), 3)

    3. Next i

    The reason I'm trying to do this is because it shows "C:\dirname" instead of just "dirname" in the listview.

    I need to know how to properly omit text from a string-based variable. I used to know how to do this, but I forgot how.
