Fellows i didnt get it. why is it called "Left", further clarify me thanks in advance

There is no "LEFT" function, but you can use Substring to return the left portion of a string: The following will display: This

String cMyString = "This is my string";
MessageBox.Show(cMyString.Substring(0, 4));

The following will display: This is

MessageBox.Show(cMyString.Substring(0, 7));
