# `slice` Function
|
|
|
|
`slice` extracts some consecutive elements from within a list.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
slice(list, startindex, endindex)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`startindex` is inclusive, while `endindex` is exclusive. This function returns
|
|
an error if either index is outside the bounds of valid indices for the given
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
> slice(["a", "b", "c", "d"], 1, 3)
|
|
[
|
|
"b",
|
|
"c",
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|

|

string, although it uses a length instead of an end index.
