String Manipulation?

[AccessMoron]

Is there a similar command to VB's Left(string,length) that would enable me to chop off the last eight characters of a string?

TIA
Mike

Not that I'm aware of, though if you know you always want to chop the last 8 chars, you can do this:

stringFoo = stringFoo.substring(0,stringFoo.length-8);
