Removing number of characters from end of string

[Newsgroup_User]

Hi all....
Dooza very kindly helped me with trimming a string in an earlier post, but
now i want to remove the last four characters from a string.
I really should know how to do this and will have to do some bedtime reading
:-|

But, for now, could someone help!

Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
Try something like this:
<%
myStr = "this is my really long string"
Response.Write(LEFT(myStr,LEN(myStr) -4))
%>

I like the help when I can... to give something back after receiving so
much help over the years.

There are lots of useful ASP functions that can do all sorts of string
manipulations, you just need to have a play and try to remember them :)
