The Substring command returns the portion of source defined by firstChar and numChars.

While 'main' is a string argument,
'start position' & 'length required' are numeric.

It returns 'length' number of characters of 'main' starting from the character at position 'start'.

'length' is optional. If omitted, the function returns the rest of the characters from the position 'start'.

Sutnarcha, Please update post with programming launguage... Thanks, Jim

Well, this is general syntax.
But if I have to name the programming language, I would say C/C++.
