Right() equivalent

Is there a javascript equivalent of vb's right() function please ???

Without looking... I'm thinking you can get the last five characters of a string like this:

Code:

var myString = "Hello, Mother";
var myRightString = myString[-5..0];

I could just be thinking of Perl or something. Too many languages.

Ah, sorry, here, try this...

Code:

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <p>
      <script type="text/javascript">
        var myString = "Hello, Mother";
        document.write(myString.substring(myString.length - 5, myString.length));
      </script>
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

there is no built in Right() function, but you can make your own easily.

Code:

function right(str, intSpaces)
{
  return str.substr(str.length - intSpaces, str.length)
}
