trim string

[Christopher Brandsdal]

How do i cut the last 4 characters in a string?
I know how to cut the 4 first, but i need to cut the last!
I have a image name like testimage.gif and I want to cut away .gif



Thanks
Christopher

If you just want to cut away the last four, use:

TheString = Left(TheString, Len(TheString) - 4)

If you want to get rid of the file extension, here is one of many ways:

TheString = Left(TheString, InStrRev(TheString, ".") - 1)

vbscript:

s = left(s,len(s)-4)

jscript:

s = s.substring(0,s.length-4)

not tested
