For getting the length of a string, look at this example
example-string: "Hello World!"
print length? example-string
As for the others, I am not sure what you mean by "left" and "right" but
you can get a single character such as in this example
print pick example-string 7
REBOL does include some higher-level functions such as the parse
function. You can split up a sentance by the word like this
probe parse example-string none
The parse function has quite a few capabilities; check the REBOL
documentation for more detail.
Later,
Eric
