Module Module1

    Sub Main()

         Dim leng As String = Len(" Rohatash kumar")

        Console.WriteLine("length is :" & leng)

        Dim middle As String = Mid("Rohatash Kumar", 3, 4)

        Console.WriteLine("Mid is :" & middle)

        Dim leftf As String = Left("Rohatash Kumar", 3)

        Console.WriteLine("Left is:" & leftf)

        Dim rightr As String = Right("rohatash kumar", 6)

        Console.WriteLine("Right is :" & rightr)

        Dim spaces As String = Right("rohatash kumar", 7)

        Console.WriteLine("Space is :" & spaces)

        Dim replaces As String = Replace("rohatash kumar", "hat", "nmo")

        Console.WriteLine("Replace is :" & replaces)

        Dim trimt As String = Trim("   rohatash kumar  ")

        Console.WriteLine("Trim is :" & trimt)

        Dim ltriml As String = LTrim("    rohatash kumar     ")

        Console.WriteLine("ltrim is :" & ltriml)

        Dim rtrimr As String = RTrim("    rohatash kumar     ")

        Console.WriteLine("rtrim is :" & rtrimr)

        Dim ucaseu As String = UCase("rohatash kumar")

        Console.WriteLine("Ucase is :" & ucaseu)

        Dim lcasel As String = LCase("ROHATASH KUMAR")
