ibec_Copy
Returns a substring of a string.
Description
S is an expression of a string. Index and Count are integer-type expressions. ibec_Copy returns a substring containing Count characters starting at S[Index]. If Index is larger than the length of S, ibec_Copy returns an empty string.
If Count specifies more characters than are available, only the characters from S[Index] to the end of S are returned.
Syntax
function ibec_Copy(S : string; Index, Count: Integer): string;
Example
