Say I have the variable

#VAR Example {Hello world}

and I want to #SAY whatever the seventh character is ("w", in this case). What's the easiest way to do this? Looking at the documentation, it's possible to copy Example to a temporary variable, %delete the first six characters, and then call the %left function, but this seems like a waste of CPU cycles.

This should do the trick:

#SHOW %copy("Hello world",7,1)

That's what I was looking for, thank you.
