~ Here's some:

~ == "hello"
~ >> length? string
~ == 5
~ >> left: func [S [string!] N [integer!]] [copy/part S N]
~ >> left string 2

~ N + 1 N]
~ >> right string 3
~ == "llo"
~ >> mid: func [S [string!] I [integer!] N [integer!]] [copy/part at S I
~ N]
~ >> mid string 2 3
~ == "ell"

~ Oh, and if you change the "[string!]" to "[series!]", they'll work on
~ blocks as well as strings. :-D
