elementpos()

elementpos(<string>, <positions>[, <output separator>])

elementpos() returns the characters of <string> at each of the space-separated <positions>, counting from 1. It is elements() for characters instead of words. The characters come back in the order the positions are given, and a position given twice gives its character twice. A position before the first character or after the last is skipped. Characters keep their color.

The characters are separated by <output separator>, or by a space if it is not given. An empty <output separator> runs them together.

Examples:

> think elementpos(abcdefg, 1 4)
a d
> think elementpos(abcdefg, 1 4 7, )
adg
> think elementpos(abcdefg, 4 1 4 9)
d a d

elementpos() comes from RhostMUSH and takes the same arguments.
