Hi there,

I programmed a Right function some time ago, but now when I upgraded my
program to Delphi 2.0 it gives me strange error. Has somebody else a
Right function (the last x characters of a string), a All function (put
20 characters in a string), SUB (characters x through y from a string)!!

Of can I use COPY like i used it in LEFT,

Thanks,

Hi,

The one I've been using is:

function RightStr(s: String; n: Integer): String;
{ Returns the last n chars of a string}

var
        i: Integer;

begin
        if n < 1 then
        Result := ''
   else if n >= Length(s) then
        Result := s
   else
   begin
        i := Length(s) - n + 1;
        Result := Copy(s, i, n)
   end;
end;

I don't doubt someone will come up with something far more elegant than
that but it works.

HTH
