Hey, am i blind?
or does the String class really dont have a .mid() or substring() method?

actually i do it this way:

Local chars:int[] = str.ToChars()
chars = chars.Resize(chars.Length() -1)
str= String.FromChars(chars)

(in this case to remove the last char of the string)

is there any nicer way?

But we have slicing:

Global Whole$, Part$
Whole="abcdef"
Part=Whole[2..3]

See manual part "Language Reference" chapter "The String Type"

If it helps, you can also...

Print "abcdefg"[..4]
Print "abcdefg"[4..]

Local i:Int=4
Print "abcdefg"[i..]
