    simple AnsiString question

    is there a quick way of taking out the first few letters of an ansistring? i.e.
    String astring = abcdef;
    temp = astring[1 to 3];

    temp stores only abc

    string substr (size_type pos, size_type n);
    Returns a substring of the current string, starting at position pos and of length n:

    string str18 = "abcdefghi"
    string str19 = str18.substr (6,2);
    cout << str19 << endl; // "gh"
    Might want to bookmark this page.. it's highly useful for documentation with the most popular STL classes.
