ive got two textboxes and each one has a path in it

textbox1.text "C:\folder\folder\file.txt"

textbox2.text "C:\folder\"

how can i remove textbox1's text from textbox2?

if your reading this i probably need help with code!

Try if the following is what you need:

TextBox1.Text = Replace(TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text, "")

Do you mean the other way around? You won't be able to take the longer string away from the shorter one.

Presuming that is what you mean then you'd do something like this:

textbox1.Text.Replace(textbox2.Text, String.Empty)
