10007 :: Trying To Slice the Characters Where Needed.

  When sending or receiving strings in nim, I'm not sure how to slice the part of the string I want to use.

  Example in python:

  
  import os
  
  enter_some_characters = input(str("Enter a string of 10 characters > "))
  
  first_group_of_characters = enter_some_characters[:5]
  second_group_of_characters = enter_some_characters[5:]
  
  print("First group of characters:", first_group_of_characters)
  print("Second group of characters:", second_group_of_characters)
  
  Run

  Trying to do this in nim to slice the characters but not finding the information about how to do it.

  Thanks

  I could only find the documentation for slicing a seq, but it works the same way:

  let s = "1234567890"
  echo s[0..4]
  echo s[5..^1]
  Run
