Re: string manipulation

Hello...consider the following:

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
string testString = "Sometime";
int startPos = testString.Length - 4;
//call the string.Remove(int startPosition) method that deletes characters 
//starting from that specified position.
//new string should show "Some"
testString = testString.Remove(startPos);
string testString = "Sometime";
int startPos = testString.Length - 4;
//call the string.Remove(int startPosition) method that deletes characters 
//starting from that specified position.
//new string should show "Some"
testString = testString.Remove(startPos);

Hope this helps...

Re: string manipulation

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
string test="GoodLuck";
test=test.Substring(0,test.Length-4);
string test="GoodLuck";
test=test.Substring(0,test.Length-4);

This will remove the last four characters from the string
