Use the slice syntax to subset a sequence such as a list, a string, a JMP data table, or a JMP column.
In the following example, a substring is extracted from the given string.
result = "Python in JMP"[2:8]
print(result)
thon i
In this example, slice is used with a jmp.DataTable.Column object to print a stepped subset of that column to the log. This example steps by two, skipping every other cell in the column.
import jmp
dt = jmp.open(jmp.SAMPLE_DATA + 'Big Class.jmp')
col = dt['name']
print(col[1:9:2])
['LOUISE', 'JACLYN', 'TIM', 'ROBERT']
