substr STRING START [LENGTH]
strings.Substr STRING START [LENGTH]

It normally takes two parameters: start and length. It can also take one parameter: start, i.e. length is omitted, in which case the substring starting from start until the end of the string will be returned.

To extract characters from the end of the string, use a negative start number.

If length is given and is negative, that number of characters will be omitted from the end of string.

{{ substr "abcdef" 1 -1 }} → "bcde"

{{ substr "abcdef" -1 }} → "f"
{{ substr "abcdef" -2 }} → "ef"

{{ substr "abcdef" -1 1 }} → "f"
{{ substr "abcdef" -2 1 }} → "e"

{{ substr "abcdef" -3 -1 }} → "de"
