copying part of a string

In Delphi, I would use...

-----------------------------
var tmpstart : String;
StartString = "0700"
tmpstart = Copy(StartString, 0, 2)
-----------------------------

The above would give tmpstart a value of "07"

Can anybody tell me the vb equivalent code?

To the best of my memory recall, you use:

thisVar = left(thatVar,2)

to get the substring from the left.

thisvar = right(thatvar,2)

to get the substring from the right.

and

thisvar = mid(thatvar,2,len(thatvar)

to get the substring from the middle.
