Normally one doesn’t manipulate strings at the character level in FLOW. That’s typically too low of a level. If you need to manipulate a string at this level you’re probably better off creating a Java service.
Comparing features of two languages and applying the techniques that you know in one language (e.g. Java) to another (e.g. FLOW) can be very helpful in learning the new language. However, don’t make the mistake of coding FLOW services in the same manner that you would code Java.
