String.Left$ (gb)
Static Function Left$ ( String As String [ , Length As Integer ] ) As String
Returns the
Length first characters of an UTF-8 string.
If
Length is not specified, the first character of the string is returned.
If
Length is negative, all the string except the (-
Length ) last characters are returned.
This function deals with UTF-8 strings, and so all positions and lengths are given in characters and not in bytes. To manipulate ASCII strings, use
