This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use String.RightBytes as a replacement.

Usage

OR

result=stringVariable.RightB(count)

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.

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 String.Right function.

Sample code

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"
