Sample code
These examples use the Mid function to return portions of a string.
Var s As String
s = Mid("This is a test", 6) // returns "is a test"
s = Mid("This is a test", 11, 4) // returns "test"
s = "This is a test"
s = s.Mid(11, 4) // returns "test"
This example converts the text string in TextField1 to hex and writes the result to TextField2:
TextField2.Text = ""
For i As Integer = 1 To TextField1.Text.Length
TextField2.Text = TextField2.Text + "&h" + Hex(Asc(Mid(TextField1.Text, i, 1)))
