A problem with trim - 9/17/2007 14:56:30
How do I fix it.
I have this bit of code that works well
<%= Left((rstGetCompanyDetail.Fields.Item("FIN_AFFAIR").Value),10) %>
Now I want to do the same thing but from the right. I try the obvious.
<%= Right((rstGetCompanyDetail.Fields.Item("FIN_AFFAIR").Value),10) %>
I don't even get an error it just ignores and reads data to the page.
So I try this:
<%
Dim strLeftText
strExample = rstGetCompanyDetail.Fields.Item("FIN_AFFAIR")
strLeftText = Right(strExample, 10)
Response.Write strLeftText
%>
Acts just like it did when I did it the sloppy way.
Thanks!
Rich

I'm not sure I understand what it is or isn't doing for you, but maybe try trim, or get the len, to make sure you know what you're working with.

It not removing characters from the left side of the string. For example
biguglydog
I want to only print dog.
Is that more understandable?

The text does contain a url that is about 50 charcters long. Examples
\\RLTLHNAS\folder\subfolder\file.pdf
