RIGHT$

Field of Application

Function returning a speciﬁ ed number of characters from a given string

starting from the extreme right side (end) of the string.

Syntax RIGHT$(<sexp>,<nexp>)

<sexp> is the string from which the characters will be returned.

<nexp> speciﬁ es the number of characters to be returned.

Remarks

This function is the complementary function for LEFT$, which returns the

characters starting from the extreme left side, that is from the start.

If the number of characters to be returned is greater than the number of

characters in the string, then the entire string will be returned. If the number of

characters is set to zero, a null string will be returned.

Examples

PRINT RIGHT$("THERMAL_PRINTER",7)

yields:

PRINTER

10 A$="THERMAL_PRINTER":B$ = "LABEL"

20 PRINT RIGHT$(B$,5);RIGHT$(A$,8);"S"

RUN
