Applescript replacement for trim_line()?

[iostream.h]

Let's say I have a variable with a value "8si83ejHello World", and I want to trim off the "8si83ej" in Applescript, is there any way to do this? Everything I could find was related to the trim_line() function which is no longer available.

You are probably looking for the trim_line subroutine shown here (http://www.apple.com/applescript/guidebook/sbrt/pgs/sbrt.07.htm). Simply copy it into your script.
