std::basic_string
 
size_type copy( CharT* dest,

                size_type count,

                size_type pos = 0);

Copies a substring [pos, pos+count) to character string pointed to by dest. If the requested substring lasts past the end of the string, or if count == npos, the copied substring is [pos, size()). The resulting character string is not null-terminated.

If pos >= size(), std::out_of_range is thrown.
