CountRight()

Count a certain character at the end of a string

Syntax

       CountRight( <cString>, [<cSearch|nSearch>] ) -> nCount

Arguments

<cString> Designates the character string in which the <cSearch|nSearch> character is Counted.

<cSearch|nSearch> Designates the character at the end of the <cString> that is Counted. The default value is a space, CHR(32).

Returns

CountRight() returns the number of <cSearch|nSearch> characters that appear in an uninterrupted sequence at the end of the <cString>.

Description

While RemRight() removes trailing characters from the <cString>, CountRight() only determines the number of trailing <cSearch|nSearch> characters appearing in an uninterrupted sequence at the end of the <cString>.

Examples

       .  Count the blanks:
              ? CountRight("abc   ")            // Result: 3
           .  Count the "." characters:
              ? CountRight("abc.d..", ".")      // Result: 2
           .  In this example, there are no spaces to Count:
              ? CountRight("123456")             // Result: 0

Compliance

CountRight() is compatible with CT3’s CountRight().
