Slice Text

The Slice Text action returns the portion of a string between two indexes. Indexes are zero-based, and the character at End is not included.

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
Text	String	Yes	The text to extract from.
Start	Number	No	The first included index. Defaults to `0`.
End	Number	No	The first excluded index. When omitted, the slice runs to the end.

Output	Type	Description
Slice	String	The extracted portion of text.

Positive indexes count from the beginning, starting at 0.
Negative indexes count backward from the end; -1 refers to the final character.
An index outside the string is clamped to its valid bounds.
If the resolved end comes before the resolved start, the result is empty.

For workflow, a start of 0 and end of 4 returns work. A start of -4 with no end returns flow.
