Laser 128 - MID

3.34 MID$
Purpose:
BASIC COMMANDS AND STATEMENTS
To return a specific number of
characters from within a given
string.
Format: MID$ ( X$ , i[.j]}
Comments: Both i and j must be between I
and 255. MID$ returns j
characters of string X$ starting
from the ith character.
Example:
If j is not specified, then MID$
has the same effect as the
RIGHT$ ( X$, i) function.
Al so, if i is greater than
LEN(X$), then a null string is
returned.
