VIEW function

This article describes the formula syntax of the VIEW function.

Description

Return substring of view.

Syntax

VIEW(handle, _offset, _count)

handle is a handle returned by \URL.VIEW.
_offset is the view offset. Default is 0.
_count is the number of characters to return. Default is all.

Drop _offset and take _count charaters from a view. If _count is a string then the view is truncated at the first character of this string if offset is positive. If offset is negative the all characters up to the last occurence are taken.
