Use the Mid() function:

newvariable = Mid(variable, startposition, endposition)

 I must be missing something obvious -- but I need a function to set a
 variable to a range of characters within a string.
 
 I know the starting and ending indices -- how can I set a variable to the
 characters within that range? I don't see a function for that...
