trimming a variable.

[mario c]

I need to trim a variable to have everything after 4 chars in a string.

IE:

var_temp = 200:16:1234567890

i want everything after 200: to be a variable.

I cannot use:

var_new = right(var_temp,14)

because the string is a different length everytime.
I just dont know this function. please help :D

Use the mid function in vbscript
Mid(string, start[, length])

var_string = mid(var_temp, 5)

If you know the length of how much you need to extract after the 4th
character, you can specify that too
