You'd think this works, but it doesn't
From the help:
String.Remove Method
Deletes a specified number of characters from this instance beginning at a
specified position.
ByVal startIndex As Integer, ByVal count As Integer
Parameters
startIndex
The position in this instance to begin deleting characters.
count
The number of characters to delete.
"$" is not an integer value, which the first paramter of remove "startIndex"
must be, so the compiler gives you an error. In addition, an empty string
"" is not a valid integer value, which the second paramter "count" must be.
