    I have this one line of vbscript:

     
if len(mAccount)=15 then if mAccount(0)="8" Then mAccount=left(mAccount,4) & right(mAccount,10)
    Code (markup):
    I am wondering how it's supposed to look.

    The purpose of course, is to read a number, evaluate length = 15 and that the first digit is "8", then I want to remove the fifth digit.

    I get an error around the second "if"

    Help from a pro is appreciated :)

    Try replacing mAccount(0) with Mid(mAccount,1,1)

    The following should work:

    <%
    mAccount = "812305678912345"

    if (len(mAccount)=15 and Mid(mAccount,1,1)="8") Then
    mAccount=left(mAccount,4) & right(mAccount,10)
    end if

    response.write(mAccount)

    %>
