Mid	Stores a part of the string taken from the middle, in the #strRes system variable.
Lower	Stores a lower case version of the string in the #strRes system variable.

Example

set %string HELLO
str Len %string     ; #strRes = 5
str Pos %string LL  ; #strRes = 3
str Left %string 4  ; #strRes = HELL
str Right %string 2 ; #strRes = LO
str Mid %string 2 3 ; #strRes = ELL
str Lower %string   ; #strRes = hello
str Ins %string I 3 ; #strRes = HELILO
str Del %string 3 2 ; #strRes = HEO
str Count %string L ; #strRes = 2

; This is a sample on how to use Str Count
; command and index parameter of Str Pos
; Made by Cheffe.

set %test _this_is_a_test_and_tests_are_cool_
 
str count %test _
for %cnt #strres 2 
{ 
  set %tmp %cnt - 1 
  str pos %test _ %tmp 
  set %tmp #strres + 1 
  str pos %test _ %cnt 
  set %len #strres - %tmp 
  str mid %test %tmp %len 
  display ok #strres
