Name
UnmidStr -- remove characters from the middle of a string (V4.5)
Synopsis
var$ = UnmidStr(s$, pos, len[, encoding])
Function
This function removes len characters from s$ starting at position pos in the string. The position needs to be specified in characters, not in bytes. Position 0 indicates the start of the string. The truncated string is returned.

The optional encoding parameter can be used to set the character encoding to use. This defaults to the default string encoding set using SetDefaultEncoding(). See Character encodings for details.

Inputs
s$
string to truncate
pos
position (in characters) at which to start removing characters
len
number of characters to remove
encoding
optional: character encoding to use (defaults to default string encoding) (V7.0)
Results

Example
Print(UnmidStr("This is definitely not a funny example", 19, 4))
