Say, I have a string

hello is it me you're looking for

I want to cut part of this string out and return the new string, something like

s = string.cut(0,3);

s would now be equal to:

lo is it me you're looking for

EDIT: It may not be from 0 to 3. It could be from 5 to 7.

s = string.cut(5,7);

would return

hellos it me you're looking for

You're almost there. What you want is:

So, in your example:

Var string = hello is it me you're looking for;

s = string.substr(3);

As only providing a start (the first arg) takes from that index to the end of the string.

Update, how about something like:

function cut(str, cutStart, cutEnd){

  return str.substr(0,cutStart) + str.substr(cutEnd+1);

}
