Just a little snip of code that lets you trim a specified number of characters from either side of a string.
Inputs
Inputs are (in order):
data to trim from,
number of characters from left side,
number of characters from right side
Code Returns
The new string, w/o trimmed characters
VBcodersFunction trim_data(data As String, from_left As Integer, from_right As Integer) As String
'If you try to trim to much, returns an empty string
If Len(data) <= from_left + from_right Then
trim_data = ""
'If not, trim text from sides and return
Else
trim_data = Mid(data, from_left + 1, Len(data) - from_left - from_right)
End If
End Function
