Subject: substring extraction
Date: Mon, 8 May 2006 09:32:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6F0CB04509C11D46A54232E852E390AC0155A876@MCHP7R6A.ww002.siemens.net> (raw)
bash has the nice feature to extract a substring from a shell variable.
For example
# bash example
var=abcd
echo ${var:1:2} # Start at offset 1, returns 2 characters
displays
bc
Is there an easy way to achieve a similar effect in zsh, without
reverting to external
tools such as awk or sed?
