# chars/slice Substring by CODEPOINT indices `[a, b)` — identical to `slice` on strings (kept as a self-documenting form). `b` clamps to the string end, `a` to 0; `a >= b` yields `""`. ## Syntax 
[chars/slice $string $a $b]
## Examples 
set s "a中c"
[chars/slice $s 1 2]      # "中"
[chars/slice $s 0 2]      # "a中"
[chars/slice $s 2 99]     # "c"   — b clamps
## Returns String. ## See Also `slice`, `char-at`, `width`, `cells`
