Right
Use the Right function to return a specified number of characters from the right side of a string.
Syntax
The Right function returns a variant(string). To determine the number of characters in a string, use the Len function.
Right(string, length)
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
string |
String expression from which characters are returned. If string contains Null, then Null is returned. |
length |
Variant (Long). Numeric expression indicating how many characters to return. If 0, then a zero-length string ("") is returned. If greater than or equal to the number of characters in string, then the entire string is returned. |
To determine the number of characters in a string, use the Len function.
Use the RightB function with byte data contained in a string. Instead of specifying the number of characters to return, length specifies the number of bytes.
Example
This example returns "on the right":
Right("The characters on the right",12)
