Modify text using vbscript

Hello,
I have a dilemma,

In VBS, I have a variable that reads a text input:

strObj = "Text/Text2/Text3"

I need to edit strObj so it will say only "Text/Text2" (basically discard everything after the 2nd "/" including)

Any advise?

Not griping, you are certainly free to select any working solution as you see fit. Just want to understand if I missed anything, what made http:#a39163344 such an inferior solution for you, seems pretty compact and effective? Or was it just because it wasn't first on the scene?

I agree. I did the same thing as @billprew - we posted just about the same time. The only difference is I made a function so you can call the function anywhere in the code multiple times with one line.

There are always many ways to the same visual outcome though.
