rString: The String or Variant from which a sub-string will be removed. Subroutine does nothing if rString is Null or cannot be fixed up to a String.

vStartPos: The position of the first character that will be removed from rString. vStartPos defaults to 1 (the first character in rString) if it is missing, Null, cannot be fixed up to a number, or less than 1 (one).

Subroutine does nothing (except fixing-up non-string rString arguments to strings) if vStartPos is greater than the length of rString.

vLength: The number of characters that will be removed from rString. vLength defaults to 1 (one) if it is missing or Null or cannot be fixed up to a number.

Subroutine does nothing (except fixing-up non-string rString arguments to strings) if vLength is <= 0 (less than or equal to zero).
