UKismetStringLibrary::Left

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown
#include "Kismet/KismetStringLibrary.h"
Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the leftmost given number of characters from a string.

Caveats & Gotchas

  • If Count is greater than or equal to the string's length, the entire string is returned rather than erroring.
  • A negative Count is clamped to zero, returning an empty string rather than counting from the right — use Right for that.
