The **RSET** statement right-justifies a string according to length of the string expression.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Syntax
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> RSET string_variable = string_expression
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If the *string_expression* is longer than a fixed length string variable the value is truncated from the right side in [LSET](LSET) or RSET.
|
||
|
|
* If the *string_expression* is smaller than the fixed length, spaces will occupy the extra positions in the string.
|
||
|
|
* RSET can be used with a [FIELD](FIELD) or [TYPE](TYPE) string definition to set the buffer position before a [PUT](PUT).
|

## Example(s)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```vb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CLS
|
||
|
|
DIM thestring AS STRING * 10
|
||
|
|
PRINT "12345678901234567890"
|
||
|
|
RSET thestring = "Hello!"
|
||
|
|
PRINT thestring
|
||
|
|
anystring$ = SPACE$(20)
|
||
|
|
RSET anystring$ = "Hello again!"
|
||
|
|
PRINT anystring$
|
||
|
|
RSET thestring = "Over ten characters long"
|
||
|
|
PRINT thestring
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```text
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
12345678901234567890
|
||
|
|
Hello!
|
||
|
|
Hello Again!
|
||
|
|
Over ten c
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> *Explanation:* Notice how "Hello!" ends at the tenth position because the length of *thestring* is 10. When we used SPACE$(20) the length of *anystring$* became 20 so "Hello Again!" ended at the 20th position. That is right-justified. The last line "Over ten c" is truncated as it didn't fit into *thestring**s length of only 10 characters.
