jx syntax madness

Hi,

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* ?


Thanks!
Jorg

Hi Jorg
Have you tried to ParseInt?
I had a similar problem and bizarely solved by multipying by 1 which seemd
to cast my content into a integer.

note that the -3 or +3 are entirely random here, bottomline is that i 
can subtract from the indexOf result, but not add to it...
