:Substring does not cover first character removal, and initial consensus that the task is too far into development to add requirements. It is probably better to split this into sub tasks anyway, because there are several different substring methods which have not been included on that task. --[[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 11:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

==possible errors==

It seems that several examples will fail when the original string is null (length zero) or only a single character. I don't know that much about BIFs (built-in-functions) for the many languages, so I can only speak for a small number of them. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 05:23, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
