slice Method (String)


function slice(start : Number [, end : Number]) : String

start: Required. The index to the beginning of the specified portion of the string.

end: Optional. The index to the end of the specified portion of the string.

The slice method returns a String object containing the specified portion of the string.

The slice method copies up to, but not including, the element indicated by end. If start is negative, it is treated as length + start where length is the length of the string. If end is negative, it is treated as length + end where length is the length of the string. If end is omitted, extraction continues to the end of the string. If end occurs before start, no characters are copied to the new string.

In the following example, the first call to the slice method returns a string that contains the first five characters of str. The second call to the slice method returns a string that contains the last five characters of str.

В	Copy Code
var str = "hello world"; var firstfive = str.slice(0,5); // Contains "hello". var lastfive = str.slice(-5); // Contains "world".
