Substring function?

All of these arguments about byte indexing apply equally to first, last, and chop, which are part of the standard library and index on unicode codepoints.

From the julia source:

first(s::AbstractString, n::Integer) = @inbounds s[1:min(end, nextind(s, 0, n))]
last(s::AbstractString, n::Integer) = @inbounds s[max(1, prevind(s, ncodeunits(s)+1, n)):end]
function chop(s::AbstractString; head::Integer = 0, tail::Integer = 1)
    if isempty(s)
        return SubString(s)
    end
    SubString(s, nextind(s, firstindex(s), head), prevind(s, lastindex(s), tail))
end

Guess I’ll just have to start my own util package like you do in Java :rofl:
