Slice String

The Slice String node is used to extract a substring from a given string based on specified start and end indices. This node allows you to select a portion of the string by defining the starting and ending positions, effectively "slicing" out the desired segment. The extracted substring is then stored in a new variable.

Example

Let's say you want to extract the STD Code from a number

0510-24711 stored in $.variables.number.

  1. Set Variable Name to stdcode.

  2. Set Start Value to 0.

  3. Set End Value to 4.

It will store the sliced substring in $.variable.stdcode. If variable $.variables.number doesn't exist, it'll raise an error.

Returns

This node does not return any value, but stores the modified string in the same variable with name provided in <Variable Name> in the flow context.
