The following can be used to manipulate and retrieve string details from variables.

These should be written in the following format: varname.method(arguments), e.g. myVar.subStr(3,2) if your variable name was "myVar" and you wanted to use the subStr function to find the 2 characters that begin 3 from the left.

Using the table below, you could for example find out the 4th letter of the variable named var that has stored the word "hello" like so:

// Don't forget almost all internal "counting" starts at 0, not at 1...
// so the 5th character would actually be 0, 1, 2, 3, '''4''' <--- 4! 
var="hello"
echo "The 5th letter in the word hello is: " + var.charAt(4)

Result:
01:25:34 The 5th letter in the word hello is: o
01:25:35 Script stopped
