Hello All, I've been searching on the online documentation and I'm pretty sure I've done it before but I don't recall how. The problem is. I have a string with 17 characteres and I want to copy from the fourth character 6 characteres. Under Pascal I usually do copy(string,4,6). That means, copying from the fourth characters a quantity of 6 characteres. Is there any built in function that does that? Could anyone tell me that? Thanks, Carlos Fernando.
