with the first character in the string expression.

Parameters:

$String. String expression. The character string from which to extract

characters.

%Count. Numeric expression. The number of characters to extract. If

Count is negative or zero, LEFTSTR() returns an empty string “”. If Count

// $Var will contain a string starting with 4 asterisks, and

// containing the first 16 characters of the combination of

// strings $Msg[1] and $Msg[2]. If there are less than 16

// characters in those variables, $Var will also contain up to

// 4 asterisks at the end.
