<div style="right: auto;">How do I address part of a string?</div>
<div style="right: auto;"> </div>
<div style="right: auto;">For example:</div>

<div style="right: auto;">myString = "abcdefg"</div>
<div style="right: auto;">How do I get characters 4:6, which

Use the part function.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
When doing myString = "abcdefg" you are creating a 1x1 matrix
(similarly a=2.3 is matrix).<br>
You can see that by typing myString(1).<br>
