Well, that's generally what a shift does. Are you talking about a circulating shift?

What I wrote erases the first 13 characters, effectively shifting the string 13 characters to the left. If you want to shift to the right, you can either erase the 13 characters from the right, or just append 13 spaces or something to the beginning. It depends on whether or not you want the beginning of the string to remain the same.
