Description

edit

This function returns a string or container consisting of the rightmost numChars characters of string$ or container$$. If numChars is greater than the length of string$ or container$$, the entire string$ or container$$ is returned. If numChars is less than 1, an empty (zero-length) string is returned.

Note: You may not use complex expressions that include containers on the right side of the equal sign. Instead of using: c$$ = c$$ + RIGHT$$(a$$,10) Use: c$$ += RIGHT$$(a$$,10)

Example: PRINT RIGHT$ ("Nebraska", 3) program output: ska
