View Source
The rightmost dwCount characters of cString.
If dwCount is 0, Right() returns a NULL_STRING.
A negative value is not allowed since a WORD cannot be negative.
If dwCount larger than the length of the string, Right() returns cString.
Parameters
- cString
- Type: String
The string from which to extract characters. - dwCount
- Type: DWord
The number of characters to extract.
Return Value
Type: StringThe rightmost dwCount characters of cString.
If dwCount is 0, Right() returns a NULL_STRING.
A negative value is not allowed since a WORD cannot be negative.
If dwCount larger than the length of the string, Right() returns cString.
Remarks
Right() is the same as Substr(cString, -wCount).
For example, Right("ABC", 1) is the same as Substr("ABC", -1). Right() is related to Left(), which extracts a substring beginning with the leftmost character in cString. The Right(), Left(), and Substr() functions are often used with both the At() and RAt() functions to locate either the first and/or the last position of a substring before extracting it.

Examples
This example shows the relationship between Right() and Substr():
This example extracts a substring from the end of another string, up to the last occurrence of a comma:
X#
1? Right("ABCDEF", 3) // DEF 2? Substr("ABCDEF", 3) // CDEF 3? Substr("ABCDEF", -3) // DEF
X#
1LOCAL cName AS STRING 2cName := "James, William" 3? Right(cName, SLen(cName) - RAt(",", cName) -1) // William
