5. Click on copy code in code below to copy code into clsStringFunctionRight.vb
6. Click on copy code in second set of code below to copy code into Module1.vb
7. Click green arrow or press F5 to run program

Step 1: Use Copy Code to Cut-n-paste code into clsStringFunctionRight.vb

Public Class clsStringFunctionRight
 
    Public Sub Main()
 
        '****************************************************************************************
        ' Example #1: Right(string,length)
 
        '****************************************************************************************
 
 
        '****************************************************************************************
        ' Example #1: Right(string,length)
        ' Returns length characters starting from the Right side of the string 
        '****************************************************************************************
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #1: Right(string,length) ")
 
        Dim strRight As String = "This is a test string"
 
        Console.WriteLine(Right(strRight, 4)) 'Returns ring
 
        'write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine()
 
 
 
        'Prevent console from closing before you press enter
        Console.ReadLine()
 
    End Sub
 
 
End Class

Step 2: Use View Plain to Cut-n-paste code into Module1.vb

Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
 
 
        Dim myclsStringFunctionRight As New clsStringFunctionRight
        myclsStringFunctionRight.Main()
 
 
 
    End Sub
 
End Module
