SETRIGHT Extract right substring |
Top Previous Next |
This script command extracts the rightmost [ cnt ] characters from [ value ] and saves the result in [ variable ].
If the /split option is specified, the unextracted portion of [ value ] is assigned back to [ value ] replacing the original value.
Consider the following example.
;; assign a variable to a string SET string = "this is a string" ;; extract the rightmost 6 characters SETRIGHT substring = string 6
;; another example of syntax to extract the rightmost 6 characters SETNUM len = 6 SETRIGHT substring = string len
The resulting substring variable contains the value "string". The original string variable is unchanged.
Consider the same example using the /split option.
;; assign a variable to a string SET string = "this is a string" ;; extract the rightmost 6 characters SETRIGHT substring = string 6 /split
The resulting substring variable contains the value "string" and the original string variable becomes "this is a ".
