jx wierdness

Repost from users@,

Can anyone explain me why
${mystring.substring(mystring.indexOf('abc'))} works,
${mystring.substring(mystring.indexOf('abc') - 3)} works

but
${mystring.substring(mystring.indexOf('abc') + 3 )} *not* ?


Note that the 3 is irrelevant here, the match occurs somewhere in the 
middle of a 20char string. ('abc' occurs only once)

I can subtract as much as i want, but adding results in the expression 
returning an empty string.


How can i get around this ?

Regards
Jorg
