Use the part function.

BTW one of the best feature of scilab (compared to matlab) is it's 
ability to have matrices of strings (with different sizes) because a 
string is an object.
When doing myString = "abcdefg" you are creating a 1x1 matrix (similarly 
a=2.3 is matrix).
You can see that by typing myString(1).
