substring in coldfusion

Hi Guys,

please help, newbie here in cfm. what function in php similar to this one:

substr("mystring", 0, 1); // returns m

Thanks,

Mike

 

Try

Left(string, length) //returns number of characters defined by length

or

Mid(string, start, count) //returns the set of characters from string, beginning at start, of length count.

 

thanks a lot bro.
