|
|
{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
:: '''RIGHT$('''''stringvalue$, numberofcharacters%''''')'''
|

|
|
|
|
{{PageParameters}}
|
|
* The ''stringvalue$'' can be any string of [[ASCII]] characters as a [[STRING]] variable.
|
|
* The ''numberofcharacters'' [[INTEGER]] value determines the number of characters to return from the right end of the string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* If the number of characters exceeds the string length([[LEN]]) the entire string is returned.
|
|
* RIGHT$ returns always start at the last character of the string, even if a space. [[RTRIM$]] can remove ending spaces.
|
|
* '''Number of characters cannot be a negative value.'''

: ''Note:'' When a single hexadecimal digit is returned the resulting value will need the leading zero added. Otherwise the hexa- decimal value created will have a byte missing from the value. EX: Color &HFF000000 is valid while &HFF000 is not.
