Free online substring extractor. Just enter your string and this utility will automatically extract a string fragment of the given length from the given position. There are no intrusive ads, popups or nonsense, just a substring extractor. Load a string – get a substring. Created for developers by developers from team Browserling.
This web application extracts a substring from a string. It cuts the characters starting from the "start" position and ends the cut when it counts "length" characters. Both "start" and "length" can be specified in the options. For example, if the string is "Penguin" and the start is 5 and the length is 2, then the extracted substring is "ui". Starting position can take both positive and negative values. For example, if in the same penguin example the start was -4, then it would mean that we should start trimming the string from the fourth character from the end, and we would get the substring "gu". Length can also be negative. The length sign indicates the cutting direction. If the sign is "+" then truncation is to the right, if the sign is "-", then it's to the left. For example, if the start is 3 and the length is -2, then we get the substring "en". It is also possible that both variables are negative. For example, the start -3 and length -4 will give the substring "engu". If you want to truncate the beginning part of the string, just leave the length field empty, or enter the "-" sign to truncate the end part of the string. To quickly get substrings of many strings, activate the "Multi-line Mode". In this case, each string on each line will get truncated. We also have an additional option that reverses characters in the output substring. Stringabulous!
In this example, we extract a substring from a quote from the film The Wizard of Oz. We specify the starting position equal to 12 and indicate the length of the substring to be 10 characters long. After cutting the string, we get two words "place like" in the output.
In this example, we activate the multi-line mode to extract the flight numbers from an airline timetable. We set a negative length value, which means that the truncation will be performed in the left direction from the specified starting position. Thus, we extract 7 symbols before the 13th character.
In this example, we use a negative start value to extract the country calling codes from several strings. The starting position -7 means that substrings start from the seventh character from the end, which is the "+" symbol before the code. Then four characters are extracted in the right direction, which make up the country code.
This example uses negative values for both the start and length. This makes the program cut the lines on the right side, moving the cursor to the left side. Thus, the extracted substrings are the day and month.
In this example, because we have activated the "Reverse Substring" option, we extract a reversed substring from the end of each string. We start from the second position on the right (skipping the exclamation mark at the end) and moving to the beginning, we return three letters. In the output, we get reversed substrings of the words "cat", "dog", and "fox", which are "tac", "god", and "xof".
In this example, we specify only the starting character position value and leave the length field value empty. In this case, the tool extracts all characters from the 9th position to the end of each line. As a result, cut off all hex colors and leave only the RGB codes and color names.
