Ticket #23943
- Property Summary Mapcss "substring" function: allow negative end index to remove from the end → [PATCH] Mapcss "substring" function: allow negative end index to remove from the end

-              initial
+              v1
 A much nicer solution would be to permit negative end indices in the `substring(str, start, end)` function, which should mean to count the final index from the length of the string, e.g.: `substring("foo bar baz", 1, -1)` would return `oo bar ba`. This is especially useful for variable-length strings in mapcss.
 I'm not familiar enough with Java to dare to make it a patch, but I can image the new function to look something like:
+A possible patch:
 {{{#!java
 public static String substring(String s, float begin, float end) {
+  return s == null ? null : s.substring((int) begin, (int) (end > 0 ? end : s.length() + end));
+  return s == null ? null : s.substring((int) begin, (int) (end >= 0 ? end : s.length() + end));
+}
 }}}
