Easy one. formatting text

In ASP.NET, how do I take a string like dirobby and remove the dir ?i'm assuming you're trying to manipulate the directory structure? if so, i've found the best way to do this is to use the Split() method of String. of course this only works if there's a common delimeter you're aware of before hand. here's an example<BR><BR>'================================================= =====<BR>Dim sPath As String = "rootdirobby"<BR>Dim arrPath As Array = sPath.Split("\")<BR>'================================================= =====<BR><BR>this breaks the string up and places the delimeted text into an array. in your case to access "bobby" you just need to do<BR><BR>'====================<BR>arrPath(2)<BR>'====================<BR><BR>hope this helps,<BR>n1ckP<BR>
