Vbscript string functions provide the functionality to perform various actions on string type values stored in the vbscript variable. Vbscript string functions allow you to search and match the specified pattern in the string, replace the matched substring with other substring, remove the leading or trailing white spaces from the string, change the case of letters of string to lowercase or uppercase, retrieve the substring of specified length from the provided string and get the length of the string. Each type of string manipulation action has different function in vbscript. You can combine the vbscript string functions with some logic to extract the desired substring or manipulate the part of the string.
