Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function RSet ( _
    Source As String, _
    Length As Integer _
) As String

public static string RSet(
    string Source,
    int Length
)

Parameters

  • Source

    Required. Integer expression. Length of returned string.

Return Value

Type: System.String

Remarks

If Source is longer than Length, RSet places only the leftmost characters, up to the length of Source, in the returned string. If the specified string is shorter than the specified length, spaces are added to the left end of the string to produce the appropriate length. If the specified string is longer than the specified length, it is shortened to the specified length.
