REPLRIGHT()
Exchanges particular characters at the end of a string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
REPLRIGHT(<cString>,<cReplacecharacter|
nReplacecharacter>[<cSearchCharacter|
nSearchCharacter>]) --> cString
Arguments
<cString> [@] Designates the string that is processed.
<cReplacecharacter|nReplacecharacter> Designates the character that
replaces the character in <cSearchCharacter|nSearchCharacter> at the end
of the <cString>.
<cSearchCharacter|nSearchCharacter> Designates the character at the
end of <cString> that is replaced by <cReplacecharacter|
nReplacecharacter>. The default value is a space, CHR(32).
Returns
The processed <cString> is returned.
Description
REPLRIGHT() can be used to exchange all trailing characters in a string
for any character you choose.
Note
. The return value of this function can be suppressed by
implementing CSETREF() to save space in working memory.
Examples
. Replace the trailing spaces with dashes:
? REPLRIGHT("abcd ", "-") // "abcd--"
. Replace the trailing dashes with spaces:
? REPLRIGHT("abcd--", " ", "-") // "abcd "
. Replace only the trailing spaces:
? REPLRIGHT(" 1 ", "-") // " 1--"
