Extract Substring from the Middle of a String

Use the Mid$ to extract a substring from the middle of a string. Note: Be sure to use Left$, Right$ and Mid$ instead of "Left", "Right", and "Mid" because if you omit the "$", Visual Basic returns a Variant that must be re-converted back to a string when the result is used in another string expression.

MyString = "1234567890"

startPos = 3
charCount = 4

Print Mid$(MyString,startPos,charCount)      ' Prints "3456"
