I'm trying to figure out a way to cut a particular substring out of a string, based on the start and end points of the substring.

For instance, I have code right now that will take in this example string:

"abcde + 1234 abcde"

And return two variables: a = 7 and b = 14. My variable a corresponds to finding the plus, and b corresponds to the first letter following the numbers.

My aim is to write a function to read in that string, and return "+ 1234", based on knowing a and b.

The only functions I know of with respect to strings are Mid, Len, Right/Left, and InStr, but none of them seem to read in a start and end point for substring finding. Right/Left would probably work, but I don't know how to cut the string from the right or the left using those.

Thanks guys.
