MidB

Syntax

MidB[$](S$, Index[, Len])

-or-

MidB[$](strvar, Index[, Len]) = S$

Description

Function: Return the substring of S$ starting at Index for Len bytes.

Instruction: Assign S$ to the substring in strvar starting at Index for Len bytes.

Note: A similar function, Mid, returns the Len bytes starting at char Index.

Parameter	Description (Mid Function)
S$	Copy chars from this string value. If this value is Null then Null is returned.
Index	Start copying chars starting at this index value. If the string is not that long then return a null string.
Len	Copy this many chars. If the S$ does not have that many chars starting at Index then copy the remainder of S$.

Parameter	Description (Mid Assignment)
strvar	Change part of this string.
Index	Change strvar starting at this index value. If the string is not that long then it is not changed.
Len	The number of chars copied is smallest of: the value of Len, the length of S$ and the remaining length of strvar. (If this value is omitted then the number of chars copied is the smallest of: the length of S$ and the remaining length of strvar.)
S$	Copy chars from this string value.
