SAString::Left

SAString Left( int nCount ) const;

Return Value

A SAString object containing a copy of the specified range of characters. Note that the returned SAString object may be empty.

Parameters

nCount.    The number of characters to extract from this SAString object.

Remarks

Extracts the first (that is, leftmost) nCount characters from this SAString object and returns a copy of the extracted substring. If nCount exceeds the string length, then the entire string is extracted. 

For multibyte character sets (default, SA_UNICODE is not defined), nCount refers to each 8-bit character; that is, a lead and trail byte in one multibyte character are counted as two characters.
