The Right function syntax has these named arguments.
Part | Description |
|
string | Required. String expression from which the rightmost characters are returned. If string contains Null, Null is returned. |
length | Required; Variant (Long). 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.
Note Use the RightB function with byte data contained in a string. Instead of specifying the number of characters to return, length specifies the number of bytes.
