I had to recently strip off the first character of a string. Doesn't sound too difficult but here it is...
What I did was use the familiar Substring command and had to find the Start of the text I wanted to keep using the Index command. Next figure out the Length of the string using the Length command and then subtract the Index of the Start of the Text I wanted to keep using the Index command again. There I had it.
But could there be possibly an easier way.
What if a Left or Right command existed that would work like this:
Left(string,Index) this might be able to give you back the left part of the string up to the index
and
Right(string,Index) this might be able to give you back the right part of the string starting at the index.
Mabe even a Mid command
Mid(string,left Index, right Index) this might be able to give you back the center part of the string
Mabe even a Mid command
Mid(string,left Index, right Index) this might be able to give you back the center part of the string
Now you would only need to figure out the index and provide the string.
Maybe not a priority but would make things less messy
