Is the stop parameter the length, or the last character's position? That
may make a bit of difference...

For instance (I'm about to attempt this, so please forgive me...):
<%
dim MyStr as String, NewStr as String
MyStr = "This is my string"

NewStr = Mid(MyStr,3,7)
%>

if NewStr ends up to be "s is my" then that is equivalent. (I'm not sure
on this as I don't use asp)

what does InStr do? maybe something like strstr ?
