- integer - A positive integer value. This can be either an attribute of base type integer, an expression that results in an integer or a constant integer value. LAST CHARACTER OF can be used to retrieve only the last character of the string.

If you prefer a functional syntax, you can use the STR_BACK ( string, integer ) function. Example: STR_BACK("Blueriq", 3) = "riq" |
Examples
If File.name is an attribute of base type string with value “Thisfile_1.doc” and the integer attribute File.extension has value 3 then:
- LAST File.extension CHARACTERS OF File.name results in “doc”
- LAST CHARACTER OF File.name results in “c”
Example
- FIRST 2 CHARACTERS OF (LAST 6 CHARACTERS OF “pieceofcake”) results in “of”
- LAST 3 CHARACTERS OF (FIRST 4 CHARACTERS OF “what's in a name”) results in “hat”

LENGTH returns the length of a string
Syntax
| Code Block |

- LENGTH( "Blueriq" ) = 7
- LENGTH( " Blueriq " ) = 9
- LENGTH( ? ) = ?
UPPER
UPPER returns a string with all characters in uppercase
Syntax
| Code Block |
|---|
UPPER ( string ) |
- string - An attribute of base type string, an expression that results in a string or a constant string value.
Return type
- string
Example
- UPPER( "Blueriq" ) = "BLUERIQ"
- UPPER( " BlueriQ " ) = " BLUERIQ "
- UPPER("BLUERIQ") = "BLUERIQ"
- UPPER( ? ) = ?
LOWER
LOWER returns a string with all characters in lowercase
Syntax
| Code Block |
|---|
LOWER ( string ) |
- string - An attribute of base type string, an expression that results in a string or a constant string value.
Return type
- string
Example
- LOWER( "Blueriq" ) = "blueriq"
- LOWER( " BlueriQ " ) = " blueriq "
- LOWER("blueriq") = "blueriq"
- LOWER( ? ) = ?
CAPITALIZE
CAPITALIZE returns a string with the first character uppercased
Syntax
| Code Block |
|---|
CAPITALIZE ( string ) CAPITALIZE ( string, lowerTheRest ) |
- string - An attribute of base type string, an expression that results in a string or a constant string value.
- lowerTheRest - A boolean or expression that results in a boolean, indicating that the other characters need to be lowercased. This parameter is optional and if it is not supplied, the other characters are left untouched.
Return type
