FUNCTION:  Mid( )

Implemented in version 1.0
 
Mid(String, Start, Length)
 
The Mid function returns the portion of the designated string for a designated length starting from any position in the string.
 
There are two mandatory arguments.
 
String
 
The String argument is the name of the string you wish to truncate.
 

Start
 
The Start argument is a numeric position anywhere in the string counting from the left side. The portion of the string to the left of this position will be discarded.
 
Code:
<% =Mid("abcde fghij klmno pqrst uvwxyz", 8) %>

There is one optional argument.

Code:
<% =Mid("abcde fghij klmno pqrst uvwxyz", 8, 7) %>
