strings in vb

[Homer_simpson]

say i got this string:
s="jackass"

how can i make it print the third character "c"
i tried print s(3) but it doesn't work like that =(

well, to use substrings in VB, you can use Mid(from:int, length:int)

so 3rd character would be
Mid(3,1)

Now the string itself also probably goes somewhere... but since I don't currently have VB installed, I can't say for sure.

There're also Left() and Right() I think If you need to cut a side off or something
