What is the ASP equivalant of Substr

I am having trouble breaking apart a variable into shorter segments. Since there are no delimiters I can't use a Split or at least don't know how to.

The variable is a tracking number which also contains a date - so I want to pull the date out for another use.

So here is an example variable:
200592915368

I want an end result of:
9/29/2005 (or something similar)

Using cgi I would just substr the varibale into three chunks and recombine - how do I do the same in ASP?

(Additional note - the month will sometimes be 2 digits instead of 1 but I'm sure I can add in that If statement once I learn how to break apart the variable.)

Thanks in advance for an suggestions.

The following example uses the Mid function to return six characters, beginning with the fourth character, in a string:


Dim MyVar
MyVar = Mid("VBScript is fun!", 4, 6) ' MyVar contains "Script".


Hope that helps,

Ah, the ease of the Mid, Left, Right and Len String Functions.

theres an instr function but dont know how much use to you it'd be
