Method

Returns the last n characters from the string specified.

Syntax

result=sourceVariable.Right(count) Introduced 5.0

Part	Type	Description
result	String	The rightmost count characters of source.
sourceVariable	String	The source string from which to get the characters.
count	Integer	The number of characters you wish to get from the source. If count is greater than the length of source, all characters in source are returned.

Notes

The Right function returns characters from the source string starting from the right side (as the name implies).

If you need to read bytes rather than characters, use the MemoryBlock class.

Examples

This example uses the Right function to return the last 5 characters from a String:

Var result As String
Var source As String = "Hello World"
result = source.Right(5) // returns "World"
