Substrings

[Kiti]

How can I get a substring? It should be something like:

$a = the substring
$b = "string"
$a = b.substring (2,6)
;$a would have to be "ring"

Does AutoIt support substrings?

Edit: I know about _StringSplit, but is there a more direct way, to select the number in a word of the first and last character your substring must have?

Edit2: Ok, I've got it I should use StringTrimLeft/Right. Sorry for the useless topic.

You should use StringMid. That function is specifically meant for what you are doing.
