tuple_str_last_nš
Short descriptionš
tuple_str_last_n ā Cut all characters starting at position ānā out of a string tuple.
Signatureš
tuple_str_last_n( string String, number Position, out string Substring )
Descriptionš
tuple_str_last_n cuts all characters from position ānā to the end
of the string out of each string of the input tuple String and
returns them as new strings in the output tuple Substring. The
position ānā is determined by the second input tuple Position. If
Position only contains one element, this element contains ānā. If
String and Position have got the same number of elements,
the first element of Position determines the start position for the
first string of String, the second element of Position does
so for the second string of String and so on. If Position
contains more than one element and String contains only one string,
tuple_str_last_n cuts more than one substrings out of this string.
The elements of Position then determine the start positions for
these substrings. If both input tuples contain more than one element but
differ in the number of elements, tuple_str_last_n returns an error.
If both input tuples are empty, the operator returns an empty tuple.
Similarly, if String is empty and Position is
not, the operator returns an empty tuple. In contrast, if Position
is empty and String is not, an exception is raised.
Unicode code points versus bytesš
The position references Unicode code points. One Unicode code point may be
composed of multiple bytes in the UTF-8 string. If the position should
reference the raw bytes of the string, this operator can be switched to byte
mode with set_system('tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode','byte'). If
'filename_encoding' is set to 'locale' (legacy), this
operator always uses the byte mode.

HDevelop In-line Operationš
HDevelop provides an in-line operation for tuple_str_last_n,
which can be used in an expression in the following syntax:
Substring := str_lastn(String, Position)
