JUSTLEFT()
Moves characters from the beginning to the end of a string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
JUSTLEFT(<cString>,[<cCharacter|nCharacter>])
--> cString
Arguments
<cString> [@] Designates the string that is processed.
<cCharacter|nCharacter> Designates the character that is moved from
the beginning of the <cString> to the end. The default value is a
space, CHR(32).
Returns
The processed <cString> is returned.
Description
JUSTLEFT() moves the characters specified in <cCharacter|nCharacter>
from the beginning of a character string to the end. Then the remaining
text in the character string is left justified, without affecting the
length.
Notes
. If the <cCharacter|nCharacter> parameter is not specified,
spaces are automatically moved.
. The return value for this function can be suppressed by
implementing CSETREF() to save room in working memory.
Examples
. Move the blanks:
? JUSTLEFT(" 123") // "123 "
. Move the "." character:
? JUSTLEFT("..123"," ".) // "123.."
