get first n characters from string

Question

In gdscript, I know that I can get a character from a specific location using something like this:

var string = "Hello"
print(string[3])        # prints "l"

In python, we can use:

string[0:3]

or

string[:3]

to get the first 4 characters, or "Hell".

Is there a way to do this on gdscript as well?

Answer 1

There is talk of this being added in Godot 3.1.

See https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/4715 for discussion as well as workarounds.

Answer 2

Like this:

print("Hello".left(4))
