Mid$()
Left$()

Look at pretty much any code I post that manipulates strings. I
always include the $ in the function's name. (Habit from the QB
days, plus other BASICs still require them.)

Yeah.., me too! I got into the habit of using the symbols when defining
vars just for the brevity. I've been posting a lot of replies that use
them just out of habit. I'm thinking if people understand what they
mean then so be it, but if not then it probably doesn't matter anyway
since those would be looking for 'turnkey' solutions they wouldn't
understand in the 1st place<g!
