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

See Also

##### 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.
