Syntax |
string.substr(num1, num2)
string.substr(num)
|
|
The substr() method returns the characters starting with the indexed position num1 and counting to num2 characters. |
The string's first character is in position 0. |
If num1 is a negative number, the string starts from the end of the string to begin the substring extraction. |
It is also possible to pass a single index location to the method. |
