How to take last four characters from a varchar?
Right should do:
select RIGHT('abcdeffff',4)
How can I get last characters of a string
EDIT: As others have pointed out, use slice(-5)
instead of substr
. However, see the .split().pop()
solution at the bottom of this answer for another approach.
Original answer:
You'll want to use the Javascript string method .substr()
combined with the .length
property.
var id = "ctl03_Tabs1";
var lastFive = id.substr(id.length - 5); // => "Tabs1"
var lastChar = id.substr(id.length - 1); // => "1"
This gets the characters starting at id.length - 5 and, since the second argument for .substr() is omitted, continues to the end of the string.
You can also use the .slice()
method as others have pointed out below.
If you're simply looking to find the characters after the underscore, you could use this:
var tabId = id.split("_").pop(); // => "Tabs1"
This splits the string into an array on the underscore and then "pops" the last element off the array (which is the string you want).
Get the last 4 characters of a string
Like this:
>>> mystr = "abcdefghijkl"
>>> mystr[-4:]
'ijkl'
This slices the string's last 4 characters. The -4 starts the range from the string's end. A modified expression with [:-4]
removes the same 4 characters from the end of the string:
>>> mystr[:-4]
'abcdefgh'
For more information on slicing see this Stack Overflow answer.
Selecting the last 3 characters of a string SQL
Two common ways are:
select right(filename, 3)
select substr(filename, -3)
However, I would caution you that not all filenames have 3 characters. I would suggest that you ask another question, with more information and examples of the filenames you are using.
Getting last 5 char of string with mysql query
You can do this with RIGHT(str,len) function. Returns the rightmost len characters from the string str,

How to select last two characters of a string
You can pass a negative index to .slice()
. That will indicate an offset from the end of the set.
var member = "my name is Mate";
var last2 = member.slice(-2);
alert(last2); // "te"
Remove the last three characters from a string
read last 3 characters from string [Initially asked question]
You can use string.Substring and give it the starting index and it will get the substring starting from given index till end.
myString.Substring(myString.Length-3)
Retrieves a substring from this instance. The substring starts at a
specified character position. MSDN
Edit, for updated post
Remove last 3 characters from string [Updated question]
To remove the last three characters from the string you can use string.Substring(Int32, Int32) and give it the starting index 0
and end index three less than the string length. It will get the substring before last three characters.
myString = myString.Substring(0, myString.Length-3);
String.Substring Method (Int32, Int32)
Retrieves a substring from this instance. The substring starts at a
specified character position and has a specified length.
You can also using String.Remove(Int32) method to remove the last three characters by passing start index as length - 3, it will remove from this point to end of string.
myString = myString.Remove(myString.Length-3)
String.Remove Method (Int32)
Returns a new string in which all the characters in the current
instance, beginning at a specified position and continuing through the
last position, have been deleted
Get last 3 characters of string
Many ways this can be achieved.
Simple approach should be taking Substring
of an input string.
var result = input.Substring(input.Length - 3);
Another approach using Regular Expression
to extract last 3 characters.
var result = Regex.Match(input,@"(.{3})\s*$");
