LeftB Function

Returns the first n bytes in a source String.

Syntax
result = LeftB( source, count )
result = stringVariable.LeftB( count )

Parameters
source | String | The source string from which to get the bytes.
count | Integer | The number of bytes you wish to get from source. If count is greater than the number of bytes in source, all bytes are returned.

Return Value
Result | String | The first count bytes of source.

# Notes

The LeftB function returns bytes from the source string starting from the left side (as the name implies).

If you need to read characters rather than bytes, use the Left function.

# Example

This example uses the LeftB function to return the first 5 bytes from a string.

Dim s As String
s=LeftB("Hello World", 5) //returns "Hello"
