Right


Definition: Returns a specified number of characters from the right side of a string.

 

You can use the Substring( )method to retrieve a specified number of characters from the beginning of a string (see Left). That’s great, but how do you return a specified number of characters from the endof a string?

Here’s one sneaky way to do that. Use the Substring() method, specifying the following two parameters:

 

·          The starting position, which should be the length of the string minus the number of characters you’re after. If you want the last 4 characters in the string then use the length minus 4.

·          The number of characters you want returned.

 

For example, these two commands assign a value to the variable $a, then use the Substring() method to retrieve the last 9 characters in the string:

 

$a ="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
$a = $ a.substring ($ a.length- 9, 9)

 

When you run this command and then echo back the value of $ a youshould get the following:

 

RSTUVWXYZ
