C# equivalent of VB6 Left

[Mike P]

What is the C# equivalent of Left in VB6? I'm not sure how to translate
this line of code :

strResultCode = Left$(txtOutput, InStr(1, txtOutput, ",") - 1)


Any help would be really appreciated.


Cheers,

Mike

Use:
string.Substring(start, length);

ie:
string something = "this is,my text";
string newString = something.Substring(0, something.IndexOf(","));

I presume you're looking to take all the string characters to the left of
the ","?
SubString does quite well here...

int CommaIndex = Output.IndexOf ( ',' );
if ( CommaIndex >= 0 )
{
// comma found
ResultString = Output.SubString ( 0, CommaIndex );
}
else
{
// for a case with no ,
ResultString = Output; // or ""?
}

strResultCode = txtOutput.Substring(0, txtOutput.IndexOf(",", 0));
