Hello, i read a variable from some source,

like suppse, SongList(3)=About Chiniot.About

I wanted to Write the part before the "." and after the "." seperatly,

i tried


Left(SongList(i), InStrRev(SongList(i), ".") - 1)

Works flowlessly... but when i tried writing the right part


Right(SongList(i), InStrRev(SongList(i), ".") - 1)

It gets crazy

like here is what i got when i try priting from right...

for future refrence... a quick search of google for working with strings in asp will bring up over a million pages with a bunch of functions and how to use them on it

Actually pmormr, i always goto google before comming here, but the problem is, that i dont understand what to write in the seachbox, because i have no clue.. like suppose i want to make two parts of a varuable blablabla.blablabla, what shud i write ? now i know i can use Split, but at that time ? i had no clue, so i had to come to the forum to ask the question, and i feel others may also find it usefull ? if some of them dont know asp very well

asp's too extensive of a language to know it all... there's got to be like 250 different functions for just strings
