left() and right() commands ? help please

[hawk1ns]

Hello guys .... hope all is well..

 

Right i wanted help with this if you would please..

 

i have an older code in vb5 , i used the left and right sting commands to split a variable into 2 then insert other veriable between them...

 

before = Left( bodytext , t )

after = right( bodytext , u )

 

newvariable = before & inserted & after

 

i see these dont seem to be available on vb.net

 

can you tell me what i should use instead please?

 

Regards

Carl
