Take From Left, Middle or Right

Three actions that cut a piece out of a text: from the start, from the end, or from a position in the middle.

The String folder has three actions that cut a piece out of a text by position. Pick the one that matches where the piece is:

Action	What it returns	Inputs
Take From Left	The first n characters. `Hello world`, `5` → `Hello`	Input String, Number of characters
Take From Middle	n characters starting at a position (counted from `0`). `Hello world`, `6`, `5` → `world`	Input String, Index starting at, Extract length
Take From Right	The last n characters. `Hello world`, `5` → `world`	Input String, Number of characters

These actions were previously called String Left, String Mid and String Right.

Good to know

Asking for more characters than the text has is safe: you get what is there.
In Take From Middle, the start position must be inside the text, otherwise the step fails.
To take everything from a position to the end, use Substring. To find the position of a marker first, use Get Index.
