First Character of String ??

[tehon3299]

How can I see what the first character of a string is? I am getting a filename via:

		Path_ = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SongShare\Songs\"

		Dim sFiles() As String = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(Path_)
		Dim sFile As String
			sFile = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(sFile)

 

How can I look at only the first character of the filename in sFile?

 

Thanks

You can use the SubString method, as in:

sFile.SubString(0, 1)

OK...That works great but it doesn't read the character for the first filename and all the files after that are like 1 behind.

I.E. Apple is nothing

Ace is A

Banana is A

Cat is B

 

What's going on?

Remember that arrays are 0 based, so you need to start whatever

loop you're using at 0, not 1. Post some code so we can see.
