| Extracts (keeps) a portion of a text string determined by numbers given in the argument that correspond to character count. It’s best to think of the place where it slices as after the characters given by the argument number. If only 1 number is given, it is considered the end slice point and will extract everything before it. | slice(text, number)
slice(text, number, number) | |||||
| Joins the first argument in between the rest of the arguments. The first argument is called a delimiter. | join(text...) | |||||
