=== `SUBSTRING`
|
|
Returns a substring of a string, specified by a start position and an optional
|
|
length. This example returns the first three characters of every last name:
|
|
|
|
[source.merge.styled,esql]
|
|
----
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=substring]
|
|
----
|
|
[%header.monospaced.styled,format=dsv,separator=|]
|
|
|===
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=substring-result]
|
|
|===
|
|
|
|
A negative start position is interpreted as being relative to the end of the
|
|
string. This example returns the last three characters of of every last name:
|
|
|
|
[source.merge.styled,esql]
|
|
----
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=substringEnd]
|
|
----
|
|
[%header.monospaced.styled,format=dsv,separator=|]
|
|
|===
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=substringEnd-result]
|
|

|
|
|
|
If length is omitted, substring returns the remainder of the string. This
|
|
example returns all characters except for the first:
|
|
|
|
[source.merge.styled,esql]
|
|
----
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=substringRemainder]
