    You can use the Mid function, which will return any character starting from any point in the string for a specified length.

    VB Code:
    1. Dim DataToGetFrom As String

    2.  
    3. returned = Mid(DataToGetFrom, StartFrom, LengthToGetFor)

    or use instr to find the pos of a certain character, or use the like statement

    mid$(String, n, 1) gives the character at the nth position
