As outlined in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/substr, which refers to the ECMA-262 specification, using the
substr
function is advised against.Hence this PR, which replaces all remaining
substr
occurrences withsubstring
instead. Please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/substr#Syntax respectively https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/substring#Syntax for the differences between the two functions.Note that in most cases in the code-base there's only one argument passed to
substr
, and those require no other changes except replacing "substr" with "substring". For the other cases, thesubstr(start, length)
calls are changed tosubstring(start, start + length)
instead.
