Right Function

Office VBScript

Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition Right Function  Language Reference 
Version 1 


Description
Returns a specified number of characters from the right side of a string.
Syntax
Right(string, length)

The Right function syntax has these arguments:

Part Description
string String expression from which the rightmost characters are returned. If string contains Null, Null is returned.
length Numeric expression indicating how many characters to return. If 0, a zero-length string is returned. If greater than or equal to the number of characters in string, the entire string is returned.

Remarks
To determine the number of characters in string, use the Len function.

The following example uses the Right function to return a specified number of characters from the right side of a string:

Dim AnyString, MyStr
AnyString = "Hello World"      ' Define string.
MyStr = Right(AnyString, 1)    ' Returns "d".
MyStr = Right(AnyString, 6)    ' Returns " World".
MyStr = Right(AnyString, 20)   ' Returns "Hello World".

Note  The RightB function is used with byte data contained in a string. Instead of specifying the number of characters to return, length specifies the number of bytes.
