Syntax:     STR(string,pos,cnt)

Defn:       A CI evaluator function that performs general
            string extraction. When cnt is positive, cnt
            characters are extracted from string.  When cnt is
            negative, the string that is extracted begins at
            pos and ends at the index of the absolute value
            of cnt.

Type:       String

Example:    str('abcde',2,3)
Result:     bcd
Example:    str('abcdefg',2,-5)
Result:     bcde
