Could someone tell me what the VB.Net counterparts are to the commands
in VB6 which used to allow me to return only the rightmost or leftmost
parts of a string?

Thanks in advance.
 
For Left, a fairly direct use of the string SubString method will do.
e.g., Left(y, 2) becomes y.Substring(0, 2)
For Right, it's only slightly more complex.
e.g., Right(y, 2) becomes y.Substring(y.Length - 2)

Click to expand...

If you use
Imports VB=Microsoft.VisualBasic

then you can use VB.Left() and VB.Right() on strings.

The VB=... makes VB an alias of Microsoft.VisualBasic so you don't have to
keep typing it.

If you use String.Substring from the .NET framework then you should check if
the string is not Nothing first, and that you aren't trying to get a
substring that is outside the ends of the string.
