So you are using 1 based numbering and you need to do the following: `use strict; use warnings; my $seq= 'ABCDEFGHIJKLM'; my $start=5; my $end=7; print substr $seq, $start - 1, ($end - $start) + 1;` [download] Prints: `EFG` [download] DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You've had about 3 people explain to you how to get the length of a string given its start and end points. What more do you need? emc "Being forced to write comments actually improves code, because it is easier to fix a crock than to explain it. " —G. Steele	[reply]
