title: strings.SliceString
description: Returns a substring of the given string, beginning with the start position and ending before the end position.

The START and END positions are zero-based, where `0` represents the first character of the string. If START is not specified, the substring will begin at position `0`. If END is not specified, the substring will end after the last character.

```go-html-template
{{ slicestr "BatMan" }} → BatMan
{{ slicestr "BatMan" 3 }} → Man
{{ slicestr "BatMan" 0 3 }} → Bat
```

The START and END arguments represent the endpoints of a half-open [interval](g), a concept that may be difficult to grasp when first encountered. You may find that the [`strings.Substr`] function is easier to understand.
