Name: SUBSTRING
Section:
String Operators
Synopsis:
<substring STRING START [END]>
Description:
Extracts the substring of STRING whose first character starts at offset START, and whose last character ends at offset END. The indexing is zero-based, so that:
<substring "Hello" 1 2> --> "e"
This function is useful when you know in advance which part of the string you would like to extract, and do not need the pattern matching facilities of match
.
