Mid

Syntax

Mid(string, start[, length])

Argument	Description
string	String expression from which characters are returned. If string contains Null, then Null is returned.
start	Character position in string at which the part to be taken begins. If start is greater than the number of characters in string, then Mid returns a zero-length string ("").
length	Number of characters to return. If omitted, or total number of characters are fewer than length, then all characters from the start to the end position are returned.

To determine the number of characters in a string, use the Len function.
