Method

Returns the last n bytes from the string specified.

Syntax

result=RightB(source, count)
OR
result=stringVariable.RightB(count) Introduced 5.0

Part	Type	Description
result	String	The rightmost count bytes of source. The encoding of result is the same as the source.
source	String	The source string from which to get the bytes.
count	Integer	The number of bytes you wish to get from the source. If count is greater than the length of source, all bytes in source are returned.
stringVariable	String	Any variable of type String.

Notes

The RightB function returns bytes from the source string starting from the right side (as the name implies). The encoding of the result is the same as the encoding of the source string.

RightB treats source as a series of bytes rather than a series of characters. It should be used when source represents binary data. If you need to read characters rather than bytes, use the Right function.

Examples

This example uses the RightB function to return the last 5 bytes from a string.

Dim s As String
s = RightB("Hello World", 5) // returns "World"
s = "Hello World"
s = s.RightB(5) // returns "World"
