Am I misremembering?

I could have sworn there was a way to return x characters from the
left or right..

For example, if I wanted the first 4 characters of a string.. but I`m
looking and not finding it anywhere..

Am I wrong?

<cfset TestMsg = "This is a test message">

<cfouput>
#Left(TestMsg, 6)#<br>
#Right(TestMsg, 6)#
</cfoutput>

you could use like Hatton said to get left and right
left(variableName, count)
right(variableName, count)

and dont forget if you need characters in the middle
mid(variableName, startAt, Count)
