Summary

Returns a substring of a string. It is possible to specify how many characters will be within the substring returned, and the location within the string which will be the first character of the substring returned.

Syntax

Copy(S : String , Index : Integer , Count : Integer) : String

S is a string-type expression. Index and Count are integer-type expressions. Copy returns a substring containing Count characters starting at S[Index].

If Index is larger than the length of S, 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.
