left() and right() commands ? help please

[hawk1ns]

Hello guys .... hope all is well..

Right i wanted help with this if you would please..

i have an older code in vb5 , i used the left and right sting commands to split a variable into 2 then insert other veriable between them...

before = Left( bodytext , t )
after = right( bodytext , u )

newvariable = before & inserted & after

i see these dont seem to be available on vb.net

can you tell me what i should use instead please?

Regards
Carl
