Removing characters from string

[lunargirrl]

Hi, I know this may be easy, but I dont find the right way to make that

dim str as string
str = myuser001

I'd like to have myuser as result, removing the 3 last characters (the number 001 of my string).
The string size can variate, but always the 3 last charac. should be removed.

TIA!

try this
myString = myString.Remove(myString.Length - 3, 3)

It worked for me - post your code - you are doing something else wrong.

did you reassign it
just
myString.Remove(myString.Length - 3, 3)
wont do it you have to put it back into a string
myString = myString.Remove(myString.Length - 3, 3)
