Does VBScript have a substring () function?

Question

Is there a substring() function in VBScript similar to Java string.substring() ?

Answer 1

Yes Mid .

 Dim sub_str sub_str = Mid(source_str, 10, 5) 

The first parameter is the source string, the second is the start index, and the third is the length.

@bobobobo: Note that VBScript strings are based on 1, not 0. Passing 0 as the Mid argument results in an “invalid procedure call or Mid argument”.

Answer 2

As Tmdean correctly pointed out , you can use the Mid() function. The MSDN Library also has a large VBScript help section, which you can find here:
