<B>MID$ Assign Substring Statement</B>
<B>MID$(</B><U>stringvar</U>,<U>n</U>[,length]) = <U>stringexpr</U>
Assigns all or some of a string expression to a string variable,
beginning at a specified character position within the string
variable.
<U>stringvar</U> The string variable whose characters will be replaced.
<U>n</U> A numeric expression in the range 1 to 255, specifying the
position within <U>stringvar</U> where the character replacement
is to begin.
length A numeric expression in the range 0 to 255, specifying the
number of characters from <U>stringexpr</U> that will be used. If
<U>length</U> is omitted, all of <U>stringexpr</U> is used.
<U>stringexpr</U> The string expression supplying replacement characters for
<U>stringvar</U>.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<B>Notes:</B> In the syntax shown above, the characters in <U>stringexpr</U>
replace length characters in <U>stringvar</U>, beginning at
character <U>n</U>.
In no case will the length of <U>stringvar</U> increase as a
result of a MID$ statement. For example, if <U>stringvar</U> is
seven characters long, and <U>n</U> is 3 and length is 6, only
the first five characters of <U>stringexpr</U> will be assigned
to <U>stringvar</U>.
