Get a Substring by Char Index and Length

Demonstrates how to use the GetRange method to get a substring by index and length.

Note: This example demonstrates the GetRange method which was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim sb As New ChilkatStringBuilder

' Load a file that contains this string:  0123456789ABCDEF
success = sb.LoadFile("qa_data/txt/remove_chars.txt","utf-8")

' Return "56789A" from the string.
' if removeFlag is 1, the returned string is also removed from the sb.
Dim removeFlag As Long
removeFlag = 1
Dim result As String
result = sb.GetRange(5,6,removeFlag)

Debug.Print result
Debug.Print sb.GetAsString()

' Output is: 
' 
' 56789A
' 01234BCDE
