Purpose
Returns part or all of a string, beginning at the right end of the string. You can call this function from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
Right$( string_expr, num_expr ) string_expr is a string expression.
num_expr is a numeric expression.
Return Value
String
Description
The Right$() function returns a string which consists of the rightmost num_expr characters of the string expression string_expr.
The num_expr parameter should be an integer value, zero or larger. If num_expr has a fractional value, MapBasic rounds to the nearest integer. If num_expr is zero, Right$() returns a null string. If num_expr is larger than the number of characters in the string_expr string, Right$() returns a copy of the entire string_expr string.
Example
Dim whole, partial As String
whole = "Afghanistan"
partial = Right$(whole, 4)
' at this point, partial contains the string: "stan" See Also:
