Mid(''string'', ''start''[, ''length''])

'''Description'''

Mid returns a string containing characters from the middle of a string. The required parameter, ''string'', is any valid string expression. The required parameter, ''start'', is any valid numeric expression. If ''start'' is greater than the length of ''string'', a zero-length string is returned (""). The optional parameter, ''length'', is any valid numeric expression and it specifies the number of characters to return. If ''length'' is not used, or exceeds the number of remaining characters in ''string'', all characters from ''start'' to the end of ''string'' are returned.
