Start character index. Zero-based. Fractional indexes are truncated to integers, negative values are interpreted as zero. Indexes past the string length lead to an empty result.
ENDnumber
End character index. Not inclusive, that is, the value of string length will return the string’s tail. If `STRT` is `0` it is equivalent to number of characters in the slice. Fractional indexes are truncated to integers, negative values are interpreted as zero which, in turn, lead to an always empty result.
OUTstring
Resulting substring (aka part, slice). Will be empty if `END` ≤ `STRT` or `STRT` is past the input length.
To use the node in your project you should have the nkrkv/text library installed. Use the “File → Add Library” menu item in XOD IDE if you don’t have it yet. See Using libraries for more info.
