Thought I?d ask here, maybe some body knows.

I want to shorten the value of a string to 50 characters. Any tips? Kind of like substr() in PHP?

Ah thanks a lot. Unfortunately it is VB not C#. I?ve been looking for a while now? just can?t seem to find anything. I must be on the wrong path.

It must be the same, since most low-level functions are across languages.
Don't know where to search, but I'm sure VB has a "substring" function, where you put start position and end position.

Edit: google knows all:

Dim aString As String = "SomeString"
Dim bString As String
bString = Mid(aString, 3, 3)

BTW, I've only played with VB a little bit and I can say I already hate that fucking language. But that's just personal opinion.

Yes.. but I am working with C# not VB.

K then.

Done with helping this fucked up thread.

I reply with an "ASP.NET C#" answer, and you say you're working in "VB". I reply with a "VB" solution and you say you're working in "C#".

Do you know what the fuck you're doing, or am I just getting grumpy because I don't understand the question?

btw, here's the C# example:

String myString = "abc";
bool test1 = String.Compare(myString.Substring(2, 1), "c") hahahaha 0; // This is true.
myString.Substring(3, 1); // This throws ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
bool test2 = String.Compare(myString.Substring(3, 0), String.Empty) hahahaha 0; // This is true.

Thanks for your help!

Here is your example in C#:

Code:

String myLongString = "This is a very long text. This is a very long text. This is a very long text. This is a very long text. This is a very long text. This is a very long text. This is a very long text. ";
String myShortString = myLongString.Substring(0, 50);

HTH
