Right$ - Learn To Code - PlayBASIC Documentation

Right$

ReturnString$ = Right$(SourceString$, NumberOfCharacters)

Parameters:

SourceString$ = The String You Wish to Grab the Left Characters of
NumberOfCharacters = The Number of Characters to Grab, Starting from the Left side of the string

Returns:

ReturnString$

RIGHT$ grabs the right most part (the TAIL) of the source string$. The characters are copied left to right. The starting point is calculated by taking the length of the source string and subtracting the number of characters you wish to copy.

FACTS:

* Characters are copied from left to right.

* Right$ calculates where to start copying characters via StringLength-NumberOFCharacters

Mini Tutorial:

  Number$="1234567890"
  Print Right$(Numbers$,3)

In this example, the RIGHT$ function will copy the last three characters from the string number$, starting at character eight (length of string (10 characters in this example)- minus characters to copy (3) ) and grabbing all the characters following this (from the left hand side). So it will output the characters 890 to the display.
