Does anyone know of a function in vbscript dat will allow me to do this...for example i have a variable dat keeps an array

variable1="1,2,3,4,5"

and another variable with this:

match="1,2,3"

so the function would be like this flow below:

if "1,2,3" in match is found in variable1 then
erase "1,2,3" from variable1
end if

thanks

maybe a replace?

variable1 = Replace(variable1, match, ""

with your example values, that would set variable1 to ",4,5" -- probably not exactly what you're looking for then.

vb does replace backward from some other replace functions--the first argument is the string to do the replacing on, the second is what to look for, and the third is what to replace it with.

ok wat about lets say i have a var1="7,87,1,2,3,4,5,78,8"

now i just want to take out dat "7," and dat ",8" which is the 1st 2 characters and the last 2 characters...

if i use replace(var1,(left(var1,2),"" or replace(var1,(right(var1,2),""...it ends up taking out 87 and 78 as well....so how do i just take out the "7," and ",8" without touching anything else?

THANKS

if you know you want to get rid of the ends, you can use Left() and Right(). the following gets rid of the 1st two and last 2 characters:

var1 = Left(var1, Len(var1)-2) 'remove last two chars
var1 = Right(var1, Len(var1)-2) 'remove first two chars

you could also do this with a single call to Mid(), but i don't remember exactly how that works.
