Notes on Right Function

Right Function

Returns a Variant (String) containing a specified number of characters from the right side of a string.

Syntax

Right(string, length)

The Right function syntax has these named arguments:

Part Description
string Required. String expression from which the rightmost characters are returned. If string contains Null, Null is returned.
length Required; Variant (Long). 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.

Note   Use the RightB function with byte data contained in a string. Instead of specifying the number of characters to return, length specifies the number of bytes.

Right Function Example

This 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".
