It cuts text from a line, as you can see in the example:

$dll(cut.dll,1,2#4,abc123)

returns bc12

So it takes the line 'abc123' and the only displays the 2nd until 4 letters later (until the 6th letter).

so it does: abc12c (and only shows the bold letters)

Hope you get it

I get it, but I don?t see the point in the plugin. Can some one give me an example why to use this plugin?

[IFR]

It can be used to shorten a long text. Take my cpu name for instance when I use the $CPUType variable it displays on my LCD "AMD Athlon(tm) processor". However all I need is "AMD Athlon" so I would use the plugin to take only the first 10 charracters of the variable. you can use it to integrate in another plugin if you need to cut a part of the returned text like this $dll(cut.dll,1,2#5,$dll(pluing.dll,1,param1,param2))

Use your imagination

Ok I can see the point now. I only uses Smartie for Winamp, date and time, so that was why I could not see the point before.
