It looks like string expressions can concatenate strings, is there a way to extract a substring?

In my case, I'm trying to use a text label for the x axis ticks of a box plot, but the labels are too long. I can't seem to rotate the label text, so I'm wondering if I can just extract the first 4 characters of the string.
