What does the Mid function do in string manipulation?

The Mid function is used in string manipulation to extract a portion of a string starting from a specified position. This function allows users to specify the starting character and the length of the substring they want to extract. For example, if you have a string "Hello World" and you want to retrieve the word "World," you can use the Mid function to start extracting from the 7th character and continue for the length of the word "World."

This functionality is particularly useful when you need to parse or work with specific sections of a string, such as extracting information from formatted data or when needing to perform operations on selected text based on its position within a larger string.
