VB6 : Left Function

Using Left Function in VB6/Classic


VB6 Left function is a string handling function whereby a front section of a string can be splitted at specific points.

For Example, we have a string "Spaceship" stored in a variable myStr and we will use Left function to split it from the left side.


'--- Variable Declarations
Dim myStr As String
Dim Output as String

myStr = "Spaceship" '--- Store the word Spaceship into myStr
Output = Left(myStr,5) '---Retrieve the front 5 letters
Msgbox(Output) '--- Display a messagebox



The output from the message above will be "Space"
