String.slice() : slice « String « JavaScript Tutorial

Syntax

string.slice(num1, num2)
    string.slice(num)

The slice() method returns the characters between the indexed positions num1 and num2.

The first character is in position 0.

If num2 is a negative number, the string counts from the end of the string to end the slice.

If passing a single index, the method will return all characters until the end of the string.
