I'm a Crystal novice.  I need some help to truncate the first four characters from the display of a text string.  The text string length is variable and the first four characters are always the same.

Text string example 1 in dbase is "TRE-CODE22325"
Text string example 2 in dbase is "TRE-BOR5595-RFB"
Text string example 3 in dbase is "TRE-449408"

I need remove the "TRE-" from the display of each text string.

I know there is a formula to do this, but I'm not experienced enough yet to get things to work.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

MID(text string, 5) will do the same job.
