Hello,

Substring is used if you want to extract a small portion out of the main string.

Suppose i have a string say s= "abc"; // if you say
s.Substring(start_location,number_elements_you_want);

Look at the below code:

C#

while (true)
           {
               Console.WriteLine("Enter a string");
               string s;
               Console.WriteLine("The string you entered was : {0}", s = Console.ReadLine());
               int loc; int length;
               Console.WriteLine("Enter the starting location of the substring and the number of charecters in it");
               Console.WriteLine(" the starting location :{0}, length:{1}", loc = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()), length = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()));
               Console.WriteLine("The resultant is : {0}", s.Substring(loc, length));
               Console.ReadLine();


           }

Thanks,
Rahul
