Description

x1[i1-:i2] : x2
If x1 is a string, x1[i1-:i2] produces the substring of x1 between i1 and i1 - i2. x1[i1-:i2] produces a variable if x1 is a variable.

If x1 is a list, x1[i1-:i2] produces a list consisting of the values of x1 in the given range.

In either case, i1 and i2 may be nonpositive.

In either case, the subscripting operation fails if a subscript is out of range.
 
Parameters
x1
string or list
i1
integer initial subscript
i2
integer ending subscript
returns
subset of string or list or fail
 
Errors
101 i1 or i2 not integer
114 x1 not string or list
