`substr` extracts a substring from a given string by offset and length.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
substr(string, offset, length)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
> substr("hello world", 1, 4)
|
|
ello
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The offset and length are both counted in _unicode characters_ rather than
|
|
bytes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
> substr("🤔🤷", 0, 1)
|
|
🤔
|
|
```
