String Manipulations Class

Public Function StripLeftNCharacters( _
      ByVal vString As Variant _
    , ByVal vNumChars As Variant _
    ) As Variant

Return the string vString with vNumChars characters removed from the left side of it.

Examples: 
    StripLeftNCharacters("123456789", 3) = "456789"
    StripLeftNCharacters("123456789", 10) = ""
    StripLeftNCharacters("123456789", -5) = "123456789"
    StripLeftNCharacters(12345, 3) = "45"

    ShiftStringLeft Function
Note: Similar to the ShiftStringLeft function, except negative values for vNumChars cause this function to return the entire string, and values of vNumChars greater than the length of vString cause this function to return an empty string.

vString: The string whose left-most characters are to be removed. Function returns Null if vString is Null or cannot be fixed up to a String.

vNumChars: The number of characters to be removed. Function returns Null if vNumChars is Null or cannot be fixed up to a number.

Function returns vString unchanged if vNumChars is <= 0 (less than or equal to zero).

Function returns an empty string if vNumChars is greater than length of the string vString.
