    JS: functions similar to PHP's "substr()" and "strlen()" [nevermind]

    I'm not really into JS at all, but I'm working on something and since I have no idea of the JS functions or where to find an index of them, I decided I'd ask here. I'm looking for a function similar to PHP's substr() function. If you don't know what the substr() function does; I'll try to explain.

    substr()

    Syntax: substr(str string, int start pos [, int length]);

    Purpose: Returns part of string specified by the start pos and length parameters.

    Usage:

    PHP Code:
    <?
      $var = "12345";
      echo substr($var, 1, 2);
    ?>
    This will print: 23

    I'm also looking for a function similar to PHP's strlen() function, which just returns the number of characters in a string.

    Any help is appreciated.

    edit: nevermind, found what I needed.
