how to circumcise a string

[dead]

I want to know how to erase the last four characters of a string that are generated at run time. It currently looks something like this.

  bsp0 = List2.List(0)
  bsp1 = List2.List(1)

 a.WriteLine ("set m1 ""fraglimit 10" & " ; map ") & Len(bsp0), 4
 a.WriteLine ("set m2 ""fraglimit 10" & " ; map ") & Len(bsp1), 4

bsp0 and bsp1 are both filenames added from a FileListBox. The FileListBox has a preset filter, so the file ext will always be the same. And how do you generate as many of these "a.WriteLine..." lines as needed by the list2.listcount?

thanks a lot!

Try using data type structure or arrays of string?

MyString = Left$(MyString,len(mystring)-4)
