Mid function (LotusScript® Language)
Extracts a string from within another string, beginning with the character at a specified position.
Syntax
Mid[$] ( expr , start [ , length ] )
Elements
expr
Any numeric or string expression. LotusScript® converts a numeric to a string before performing the extraction.
start
The position of the first character to extract from the string, counting from 1 for the leftmost character.
length
The number of characters to extract from the string.
Return value
Mid returns a Variant of DataType 8 (a string), and Mid$ returns a String.
If there are fewer than length characters in the string beginning at the start position, or if you omit the length argument, the function returns a string consisting of the characters from start to the end of expr.
If start is greater than the length of expr, the function returns the empty string ("").
