Method

RightB

Warning

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

Description

Returns the last n bytes from the string specified.

Usage

result=RightB(source, count)

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"
