sResult = Mid$ ( sSource AS String , iStart AS Integer [ , iLength AS Integer ] ) AS String
sResult = Mid ( sSource AS String , iStart AS Integer [ , iLength AS Integer ] ) AS String

Returns a String, which is that part of the source String sSource, which starts as position iStart and has the length iLength.

If iLength is not specified, everything from the position iStart to the end is returned.

If iLength is negative, everything from the position Start except the (- iLength ) last characters is returned.

Mid$ is optimized so that no string duplication occurs to generate the result.
