>Within a VBScript itself, there are functions such as Left(), Right(), Mid(), and so on. A good place to start would be the MSDN Library. There's a lot of examples within it. Beyond that, I'd recommend the "Windows Script Host Programmers Reference" by Dino Esposito from Wrox Press. The later contains a reference the the VBScript commands, functions and constants.
