Extract the last four characters of any given string

1

Hey all,
I’m trying to figure out how to extract the last four characters of any given string.

For example:
“John Smith” --> returns: “mith”
“234-567-8977” --> returns: “8977”

I have tried using slice(), but in this case the length of the string is not fixed.

Please help. Thanks so much :slight_smile:

@Mithaq_Abd_Mutalib hey welcome! You will want to use the left() and right() functions for taking the last x characters off of a string. For example:

right("Welcome to Coda",4) = “Coda”
left("Welcome to Coda",4) = “Welc”
