Create String From Substring Method


The Create String From Substring method returns a new string. Note the following:

  • This string includes characters that the stringVar variable contains according to the start position and the end position that you specify.
  • The length of this new string is equal to the value of the end argument minus the value of the start argument.
  • It does not return the character that resides at the end position. If you do not specify the end argument, then it returns the characters from the value you specify in the start argument to the end of the string that resides in the stringVar variable.
Format

stringVar.substring(start[, end])
