How to remove part of a string

Hi all,
I was wondering how I could remove part of a string that is on the right of a slash (/).
For example:
Before - aldsjkfj/ksjldf
After - aldsjkfj/
Thanks Jobartley515

dim k as long
k = instr(myString,"/")
if k > 0 then newString = left$(myString, k-1)

Although, jobartley515 wanted to keep the "/" so :

if k > 0 then newString = left$(myString, k)

;-)

Hi,

Thanks for your responses.
They help me to a point, but I was wondering if you could help me again.

I wish to remove part of the string to the right of the last "/" slash in the string.

Before:

asdfasdf/asdfasdfasdf/asdfasdfasdf

After:

asdfasdf/asdfasdfasdf/

Again thanks for your help.

Use the original code with InstrRev instead of Instr.

dim k as long
k = InStrRev(myString,"/")
if k > 0 then newString = left$(myString, k)
