MID$ Function: M X$ NTH

This document provides documentation on the MID$ function in GW-BASIC. It describes the purpose of the MID$ function as returning a string of m characters from string x$ beginning with the nth character. It lists the syntax and comments that n must be within 1-255, m must be within 0-255, and what is returned if m is omitted or out of range. Examples are also provided to demonstrate usage.

MID$ Function
Purpose:
To return a string of m characters from x$ beginning with the nth character.

Syntax:
MID$(x$,n[,m])

Comments:
n must be within the range of 1 to 255.
m must be within the range of 0 to 255.
If m is omitted, or if there are fewer than m characters to the right of n, all rightmost characters
beginning with n are returned.
If n > LEN(x$), MID$ function returns a null string.
If m equals 0, the MID$ function returns a null string.
If either n or m is out of range, an "Illegal function call error" is returned.
For more information and examples, see the LEFT$ and RIGHT$ functions.

Examples:
10 A$="GOOD"
20 B$="MORNING EVENING AFTERNOON"
30 PRINT A$; MID$(B$, 8, 8)
RUN
GOOD EVENING
Line 30 concatenates (joins) the A$ string to another string with a length of eight characters,
beginning at position 8 within the B$ string.

RIGHT$ Function
Purpose:
To return the rightmost n characters of string x$.

Syntax:
RIGHT$(x$,n)

Comments:
If n is equal to or greater than LEN(x$), RIGHT$ returns x$. If n equals zero, the null string
(length zero) is returned (see the MID$ and LEFT$ functions).

Examples:
10 A$="DISK BASIC"
20 PRINT RIGHT$(A$, 5)
RUN
BASIC
Prints the rightmost five characters in the A$ string.
