DVP15MC11T Operation Manual
Function Explanation
The LEFT/RIGHT instruction extracts a specified-length string from the string In and the extracted
string is output to Out. The LEFT instruction extracts characters from the left of the string In and the
RIGHT instruction extracts characters from the right of the string. The way of extracting characters is
illustrated as below.
Precautions for Correct Use
The input variables are not allowed to omit. An error will occur during the compiling of the software if
the input variables are omitted. But the output variable is allowed to omit.
Programming Example
When the LEFT_In string is ’AaBbCcDd’, LEFT_L=2 and LEFT_EN is TRUE, Out1 is ’Aa’ as shown
in the following table 1. When the RIGHT_In string is ’AaBbCcDd’, RIGHT_L=2 and RIGHT_EN is
TRUE, Out1 is ’Dd’ as shown in the following table 2.
