- Synopsis:
- $mid(<offset> <length> <text>)
-
- Technical:
- This function returns the input text, starting at the specified offset,
- and not exceeding the specified length. If the length specified would
- extend beyond the end of the text, it is adjusted accordingly. The
- offset is counted from 0 (zero).
-
- Practical:
- This function takes an arbitrary input string, and returns a slice of
- it. This might be used to strip the first few characters off of a
- string, regardless of what they might be.
-
- Returns:
- slice of input text, or nothing if error
-
- Examples:
- $mid(4 3 hello there) returns "o t"
- $mid(7 100 this is a long string) returns " a long string"
