RIGHT
Returns the rightmost substring of a string
Syntax:
declare function Right ( byref str as const string, byval n as integer ) as string
declare function Right ( byref str as const wstring, byval n as integer ) as wstring
declare function Right ( byref str as const wstring, byval n as integer ) as wstring
Usage:
result = Right[$]( str, n )
Parameters:
str
The source string.
n
The substring length, in characters.
Return Value:
Returns the rightmost substring from str.
Description:
Returns the rightmost n characters starting from the right (end) of str. If str is empty, then the null string ("") is returned. If n <= 0 then the null string ("") is returned. If n > len(str) then the entire source string is returned.
Examples:
Dim text As String = "hello world"
Print Right(text, 5)
Print Right(text, 5)
will produce the output:
world
An Unicode example:
dim text as wstring*20
text = "Привет, мир!"
print right(text, 5) 'displays " мир!"
Platform Differences:
- DOS does not support the wide-character string version of Right.
Dialect Differences:
- The string type suffix "$" is required in the -lang qb dialect.
- The string type suffix "$" is optional in the -lang fblite dialect.
- The string type suffix "$" is ignored in the -lang fb dialect, warn only with the -w suffix compile option (or -w pedantic compile option).
Differences from QB:
- QB does not support Unicode.
