- str
- String
Required. String expression from which the rightmost characters are returned.
- Length
- Int32
Required. Integer. 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 str, the entire string is returned.
Returns
A string containing a specified number of characters from the right side of a string.
Exceptions
Length < 0.
Examples
This example demonstrates the use of the Right function to return a substring of a given String. In a class that has a Right property, it may be necessary to fully qualify the Right function.
Dim testString As String = "Hello World!"
' Returns "World!".
Dim subString As String = Right(testString, 6)
Remarks
To determine the number of characters in str, use the Len function. If used in a Windows Form, or any other class that has a Right property, you must fully qualify the function with Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Right.
Note
The RightB function in earlier versions of Visual Basic returns a string in bytes, rather than characters. It is used primarily for converting strings in double-byte character set (DBCS) applications. All current Visual Basic strings are in Unicode, and RightB is no longer supported.
