Substring function of Javascript string object with start and end locations

From a string we can get part of the string by specifying starting and ending position of the substring.

my_string= new String("Welcome to plus2net.com");
document.write(my_string.substring(10,15));

The output of above function is plus

Note that one blank space is included in the above output at the left side.

substr() and substring()

substring() functions is different than substr function. In substr() function we used start point and length of the substring required ( not end point ).

<script>
var email="userid@example.com";
var start=email.indexOf('@');
var end=email.indexOf('.');
document.write(email.substring(start+1,end));
</script>
