Documentation for Eidos function substr, which is a method of Eidos. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

eidos_substr(x, first, last)

Arguments

x

An object of type string. See details for description.

first

An object of type integer. See details for description.

last

An object of type null or integer. The default value is NULL. See details for description.

Value

An object of type string.

Details

Documentation for this function can be found in the official SLiM manual: page NA.

Returns substrings extracted from the elements of x, spanning character position first to character position last (inclusive). Character positions are numbered from 0 to nchar(x)-1. Positions that fall outside of that range are legal; a substring range that encompasses no characters will produce an empty string. If first is greater than last, an empty string will also result. If last is NULL (the default), then the substring will extend to the end of the string. The parameters first and last may either be singletons, specifying a single value to be used for all of the substrings, or they may be vectors of the same length as x, specifying a value for each substring.
