RightB Function

Returns the last n bytes from the String specified.

Syntax

result = RightB( source, count )

result = stringVariable.RightB( count )


Parameters

source

String

The source string from which to get the bytes.

count

Integer

The number of bytes you wish to get from the source. If count is greater than the length of source, all bytes in source are returned.



Notes

The RightB function returns bytes from the source string starting from the right side (as the name implies).

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 Right function.


Examples

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"
