Mid (Function)

Returns a substring of a string

Syntax

Declare Function Mid ( ByRef str as Const String, ByVal start as integer ) as String Declare Function Mid ( ByVal str as Const WString Ptr, ByVal start as integer ) as WString Declare Function Mid ( ByRef str as Const String, ByVal start as integer, ByVal n as integer ) as String Declare Function Mid ( ByVal str as Const WString Ptr, ByVal start as integer, ByVal n as integer ) as WString

Usage

result = Mid[$]( str, start [, n ] )

Parameters

str

The source string.

start

The start position in str of the substring.

n

The substring length, in characters.

Description

Returns a substring starting from start in str. If str is empty then the null string ("") is returned. If start <= 0 then the null string ("") is returned.

In the first form of Mid, all of the remaining characters are returned. In the second form, if n < 0 or n >= len(str) then all of the remaining characters are returned.

Example

Print Mid("abcdefg", 3, 2) Print Mid("abcdefg", 3) Print Mid("abcdefg", 2, 1)
will produce the output:

cd
cdefg
b
