String Function

Office VBScript

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


Description
Returns a repeating character string of the length specified.
Syntax
String(number, character)

The String function syntax has these arguments:

Part Description
number Length of the returned string. If number contains Null, Null is returned.
character Character code specifying the character or string expression whose first character is used to build the return string. If character contains Null, Null is returned.

Remarks
If you specify a number for character greater than 255, String converts the number to a valid character code using the formula:
character Mod 256
The following example uses the String function to return repeating character strings of the length specified:
Dim MyString
MyString = String(5, "*")       ' Returns "*****".
MyString = String(5, 42)        ' Returns "*****".
MyString = String(10, "ABC")    ' Returns "AAAAAAAAAA".
