How to split string into 2 parts after certain position

Question

For example I have some random string:

str = \"26723462345\"

And I want to split it in 2 parts after 6-th char. How to do this correctly?

Answer 1

This should do it

[str[0..5], str[6..-1]]

or

 [str.slice(0..5), str.slice(6..-1)]
