at start), all characters from the start position to the end of the string are returned.

Arguments:

expression: (Required) String expression containing substring to replace.

find:

(Required) Substring being searched for.

replacewith: (Required) Replacement substring.

start:

(Optional) Position within expression where substring search is to begin. If omitted, 1 is assumed. Must be used in
conjunction with count.

count:

(Optional) Number of substring substitutions to perform. If omitted, the default value is -1, which means make all

k Text Profexxional

Space Function
Space: Returns a string consisting of the specified number of spaces.
Syntax: Space(number)
Arguments:

number: number of spaces you want in the string.

Example:

expression:

(Required) String expression containing substrings and delimiters. If expression is a zero-length string, Split returns
an empty array, that is, an array with no elements and no data.

delimiter:

(Optional) String character used to identify substring limits. If omitted, the space character (" ") is assumed to be the
delimiter. If delimiter is a zero-length string, a single-element array containing the entire expression string is returned.

count:

'Output--> Returns -1 , which means Str2 is greater than Str1 for Binary comparison
Print StrComp(Str2, Str1)
'Output-->Returns 1, which means Str2 is greater than Str1 for Binary comparison
Print StrComp(Str1, Str2)
