how to delete some chars from string?
For example: PHP - http://ru2.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

[McFlurry]

stock StringSubString(const String:input[], startindx, endindx, String:dest[], maxlength)
{
Format(dest, maxlength, input[startindx]);
if(strlen(input) > endindx)
{
ReplaceString(dest, maxlength, input[endindx], "");
}
}
The input can be the same as the dest.

Sourcepawns strings don't work like in PHP.
If you just want to cut some chars at the end of the string the most efficient way is:

string[x] = '\0';

where x is the position where to cut.
