[dba-VB] VB.Net - cut and trim

It would be the same syntax in VB.NET except you lose the ; at the end. :)

John,

In C#, you can do this in one line, no need to use the stringbuilder class:
	
output = recordValue.Substring(startPosition, resultWidth).Trim();

If the recordValue = "abcdefghijklmnop", startPosition = 5, and resultWidth
= 6, output would be "fghijk".
