Exactly:

nipping chars off strings in fields is dead easy:

delete char 1 from field "MYCRAPPYTEXT"

but I have a funny feeling that everything will move a whole lot quicker if one could do this sort of thing:

delete char from $MYCRAPPYTEXT

where the name with the $ is a string variable [Err . . guess my FORTRAN underwear is showing]

Subject: Delete char in string

I am trying to do this:

delete first char of $TEXT

where $TEXT is a string

and seem to be getting myself into trouble.
