Syntax:
output = Mid(source, start[, count])
Command Availability:
Available on all microcontrollers
Explanation:
The Mid function returns a string variable containing a specified number of characters from a source string.
source is the variable to extract from. If source is a zero length string - a zero length string is returned equating to "".
start is the position of the first character to extract. If start is greater than the number of characters in string, Mid returns a zero-length string equating to "".
count is the number of characters to extract. If count is not specified, all characters from start to the end of the source string will be returned.
Example:
'Set chip model
#chip 16F1936
'Set up hardware serial connection
#define USART_BAUD_RATE 9600
#define USART_TX_BLOCKING
'Fill a string with a message
Dim TestData As String
TestData = "The cat sat on the mat"
'Extract "cat". The c is at position 5, and 3 letters are needed
HSerPrint "The animal is a "
HSerPrint Mid(TestData, 5, 3)
'Extract the action. "sat" starts at position 9.
HSerPrint "The animal "
HSerPrint Mid(TestData, 9)
