[scilab-Users] How to address part of a string

[Jerry Wang]

Thank you.  part function works.
 
Yes, I was frustrated with not being able to get parts of a string by addressing myString(4:6) and was looking around to find combinations of [] and ().  Thank you for clarifying.

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).
