Hi Everybody,


Can anyone please tell me how I can get the rightmost characters of a string?
In Visual Basic .NET there is still the old-fashioned but handy "right()" function.
Since C# does not support these old stuff, I could not find anything similar.
My guess is that there must be a way to do it by using any method of the String class.

Thanks a lot,


Amintas

Use the length property then copy the characters off the end.

Yup:

string x = "hello".Substring (3); // Gives "lo"

To get the last 5 characters of a string, for instance, you'd use:

string x = myString.Substring (myString.Length-5);
