Hi,

I have a string "Step n" where n may vary from 1 to 100. I am taking
this string from a list box. Now I need to seperate n from the step and
want to convert n to an integer. I am using VB6.0

Regards,
Savinay

If your strings always go into the ListBox in order you could
use the index of the selected item (which starts at 0 so perhaps
index +1).

Otherwise if the strings always start with 'Step' you could use
Substring:

strRequired = ListBox.Text
strNumber = strRequired.Substring(5)
