What function(s) do I use?

I would like to take a string and remove the first 5 characters from the string. I would like to have the remaining portion of the string returned (not the first 5 characters). I want to do the same thing with the end of the string except remove the last 16 characters.
What two functions would I use to do this?

Why two functions? Is this a test question or something?

I think that is just the way he has phrased it as he asked two questions - not realising that one function is suitable for both problems.
