Enter the string variable to extract from.

Enter the string variable in which to store the extraction.

Enter the offset from which to begin the extraction (a literal value preceded by =, or an integer variable).

Enter a positive value to extract the first character after the specified offset. For example, a value of 6 applied to string X12345ABC begins the extraction at 'A'. (An offset value that is greater than the string length results in no extraction.)

Enter 0 to extract from the start of the string. For example, for the string X12345ABC, the extraction begins at 'X'.

Enter a negative value to extract from that number of characters from the end of the string. For example, a value of -3 applied to string X12345ABC begins the extraction at 'A'. (An offset that is greater than or equal to the string length is equivalent to using a 0 offset. For example, a value of -9 begins the extraction at 'X'.)

The number of characters to extract in a left-to-right direction from the offset location.

Enter a positive number to extract the specified number of characters from the offset location. For example, assuming an offset of 1, a value of 5 applied to string X12345ABC extracts '12345'. (A value that is greater than the string length results in all characters being extracted.)

Enter a negative value to exclude the specified number of characters from the end of the string and extract the remaining characters. For example, assuming an offset of 1, a value of -3 applied to string X12345ABC extracts '12345'. (A value that is greater than or equal to the number of characters from the offset location, results in no extraction.)

This is taken when the action cell has executed.

This is taken if an internal error occurred.
