    String Functions

    What string function will cut off the last 3 characters from a string?

    For example: if I had the string,

    dim strtext as string = testcalls


    I want to only return the strtext as test and take off the calls.

      Substring function.

      Your example is not well-formed but i guess it's:
      Dim strtext As String = "testcalls"

      To display only "test" chars from whole "testcalls" word;

      Substring(0,4)

      which defines 0 is startIndex point and 4 is the length that belongs
      the length of "test".

              Dim strtext As String = "testcalls"

              strtext = strtext.Substri ng(0, strtext.Length - 3)

              But I think you really want 5 instead of 3 since "calls" is 5
              characters long, not 3.

              or:
              strtext = strtext.Substri ng(0, strtext.Length - "calls".Len gth)

              or
              strtext = strtext.Remove( strtext.Length - "calls".Len gth)
