String Trancate

Hi,

In following example I would like to Trancate first 5 digits and last 3 digits.

W04056040-PAY001

So I can get 6040-PAY

Any code behind examples?

Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks.

TekinUse the stringbuilder class (remove method):

Or if you want to do it old school, the intrinsic Mid function works well too.
Hi mtekin303,

There's many ways to solve this problem. Here's two ideas:

[Visual Basic]
Dim temp As String = "W04056040-PAY001"
Response.Write("Sample 1: " + temp.Substring(5,8) + "<br />")
Response.Write("Sample 2: " + temp.Remove(temp.Length-3,3).Remove(0,5))
[C#]
string temp = "W04056040-PAY001";
Response.Write("Sample 1: " + temp.Substring(5,8) + "<br />");
Response.Write("Sample 2: " + temp.Remove(temp.Length-3,3).Remove(0,5));

Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Stringbuilder resolved it.

Thanks again.
