JScript String Object slice Method

Returns a section of a string.

Syntax: JScript String Object slice Method

stringObj.slice(start, [end])

Arguments: JScript String Object slice Method

stringObj

A String object or literal. Required.

start

The zero-based index of the beginning of the specified portion of stringObj. Required.

end

The zero-based index of the end of the specified portion of stringObj. Optional.

Remarks: JScript String Object slice Method

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

If negative, end indicates an offset from the end of stringObj. In addition, it is not zero-based. If omitted, extraction continues to the end of stringObj.

In the example that follows, the two uses of the slice method return the same thing. Negative one in the second example points to the last character in str1 as the ending point:

str1.slice(0)

str2.slice(0,-1)
