you may use the string as an array ... like arrayName[indexValue]... and 2nd option is use a char pointer..and again you can manipulate is as an array rao

The obvious choise would be to filter out the records in the SQL query, so that the don't end up in the result in the first place. If you absolutely don't want to do that, you can use the StartsWith method of the string class.

Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.
