steven Full Member Offline Posts: 111	equivalent to substring Oct 3rd, 2007, 10:56pm   Hey, anyone has an idea how I could extract a certain part of a string? For example, let's say I have the string "hello World". If I wanted to get the string from characters 2 to 4. In javaScript & actionScript I would either use the subString() (or substr()). Is there any equivalent in Processing?
