Left

The Left function returns a prefix of a string.

[edit] Syntax

Function Left(s as String, count as Integer) as String
Function Left(extends s as String, count as Integer) as String

Left returns a string created by copying the first n characters as defined by the encoding of s (or the first n bytes, if the encoding is nil).

if count < 1, Left returns the empty string. If count >= Len(s), Left returns a copy of the passed string.

To get the first n bytes of a string, you can use LeftB.
