Removing Characters of A QueryString

Hey,

I was wondering if someone can assist me in removing the first three letters/characters of a value retrieved from a QueryString.

I.e.      fldConnected    is retrieved with    Request.QueryString("qf")    and I get the value of    fldConnected. Now I want to take the first three characters    fld   and strip them from the value so it'll now be    Connected. I want to do this so that I can use the very same querystring for a second function that only needs the    Connected part.

Thanks A bunch.
