HELP SUBWORD Fran Evelyn, July 85 subword(<integer1>, <integer2>, <word>) -> subword SUBWORD takes two integers and a word as argument, and returns a portion of the word it is given, in the form of a word. The first integer specifies at which character the 'subword' begins, and the second specifies how many subsequent characters it should contain. For example: subword(2, 4, "syntax") => ** ynta In this example SUBWORD returns a four-letter word taken from the word SYNTAX, beginning at the second character and containing four characters. SUBWORD does not have an updater. See also HELP *SUBSTRING - to perform a similar operation on strings *SUBSCRW - to access individual characters in a word *CONSWORD - creates a word from a string
