{{#invoke:Message box|mbox}} The substring Template:Substr_any extracts a substring of any characters, including accented letters, for a specified offset and length.

Usage

{{substr_any|text|offset|length}} = Substring of text starting at offset and containing length characters.

Offset from 0: the first character is numbered 0, and so on. The offset + length must be less than 50. Operates on an extended character set, including accented letters, if listed in Template:Str index/getchar.

{{substr_any|ABCDEFÄÖöÜüÑñß |8|4}}  returns the 4 characters starting at the 9th, "{{safesubst:#invoke:String|sublength|s=ABCDEFÄÖöÜüÑñß |i=8|len=4}}".
