:: (regarding showing a string minus the 1<sup>st</sup> character): this is covered by the 1<sup>st</sup> task requirement. ''Showing'' that result isn't very common, but ''using'' a string starting with the 2<sup>nd</sup> is. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 18:52, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
==special cases==
I am wondering how many languages allow a zero length '''SUBSTR''' (or equivalent BIF).
Also, the 3<sup>rd</sup> task requirement: if the (original) string is a null string, how many language examples would handle that case?
I've been bit in the hinder too many times on that little ditty. "But, but, but, it never should've happened ..."
