RSet Function

RSet Function

---

Class

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings

Syntax

     Dim result As String = RSet(source, length) 

source (required; String)

The string to be right aligned

length (required; Integer)

The length of the returned string

Description

The RSet function right aligns a string.

Usage at a Glance

• If the length of source is greater than or equal to length, the function returns only the leftmost length characters.

• If the length of source is less than length, spaces are added to the left of the returned string so that its length becomes length.

Version Differences

• In VB 6, RSet was implemented as a kind of assignment statement. Because it is implemented as a function in .NET, its syntax is completely different.

• In VB 6, RSet could be used only with fixed-length strings. In .NET, RSet works with all string data.
