Question
In linux, you have parameter TEXT with value "hithere", print out just the substring "the" from TEXT.
Answer

echo ${TEXT:2:3}

^^ note the special use of parameter expansion above

^^^ note that the first number, 2, is the starting index of string to start the substring from, and the second number, 3, is the length of substring. THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN PYTHON.

^^^^ To go to the end of substing, if you don't know length, just choose a very large length value, e.g. echo ${TEXT:2:20000}
