strip data
Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2008 5:08 pm
hi everyone. im a newbie to the site and have a question:
does anyone know how to take data from a form and use only a certain portion of it.
Example, lets say someone enters 19 characters: "9885746234567891234" but I only want to use a certain portion of that. Lets say I only want to use "623456789" which is from the original string. So to sum it up, I want to skip the first six characters, use the next nine characters, and skip the last 4 characters.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
