Chopping first and last chars off of a string.

Code:
string="test"
numchar=${#string}
echo ${string: 1:$numchar-2}


an easier way ?
NOT using perl :P

Not that I know of, but you can combine the last 2 lines;

Code:
string="test"
echo ${string: 1:${#string}-2}


The other ways I've considered are all longer.
