Use slices:string msg = "Hello"; string sub = msg[0 .. 2];Yes but that works only if the string is known to contain only ASCII codes. (Otherwise, a string is a collection of UTF-8 code units.)
But that isn't how substring works. At least it seams neither Java or C# take UTF-8 encoding into account (as expected).
Though D generally has much better functions for some situations, find/until/countUntil/startsWith.
