    Question InStrRev returning unexpected results

    I have the below code and for some reason I'm getting varTableName = "CTL" as the result instead of varTableName = "CTL-DEC6TH".



    Code:
    varFileName = "CTL-DEC6th.txt"
varTableName = Left(varFileName, Len(varFileName) - InStrRev(varFileName, "."))

    Used Replace(varFileName, ".txt", "") instead.

    you can use:
    Left(varFileName, InStrRev(varFileName, ".") -1)

    InStrRev returns the position counting from left, not from right.
