If you meant to say that you have three textboxes and they have the values:
Text1.Text = "1234"
Text2.Text = "12"
and you want Text3 to contain the remaining text of Text1 that is not common in Text2: then this is what you need to do:
Text1.Text = "1234"
Text2.Text = "12"
Text3.Text = Mid(Text1.Text, InStr(Text1.Text, Text2.Text) + Len(Text2.Text))
'The value in Text3.Text will be "34"
Otherwise, if you want the Result to be stored into Text1 again, just assign the result to Text1 instead of Text3
Text1.Text = Mid(Text1.Text, InStr(Text1.Text, Text2.Text) + Len(Text2.Text))
'The value in Text1.Text will be replaced with "34"
