So, all i'm trying to do is remove the first 5 characters from some text! I know that;

Quote:
CT1.remove(CT1.Length -5)


will remove text from the end (CT1 being the variable), but I just can't figure out how to do it the other side! I've looked at VBScript help and tutorials (places like: www.w3schools.com), but cannot seem to get what should be an easy script to work :D

any help is appreciated!

it's as a string to drop into a title

simple really, i just want to remote the "Call " from the callers, so I can just have their name!

I'll look for vb.net that may help me with other scripting issues :D

there is an example on how to get a caller name script in the "scripting for dummies" post !!

The helpfiles do specify it is vb.net !

also
string.Substring(0, string.Length - 5))
