VBScript Right Function

Returns a specified number of characters from the right side of a string.

Syntax: VBScript Right Function

Right(string, length)

Arguments: VBScript Right Function

string

A string expression from which the rightmost characters are returned. If string contains Null, Null is returned.

length

A 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: VBScript Right Function

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.
