Reverse string search

[neodammer]

I know of all the basic functions on string searching but I wonder can you reverse it and start from the end and work backwords? like instead of in the string "abcdefg" getting "abc" can you get "efg" starting from the back and counting backwards?

Well if you know all the basic string functions then you know LastIndexOf, that's not what you want?

How exactly are you "getting" abc from the string "abcdefg"?

By S.Substring(0, 3)

 

You can extract the remainder of a string from a specific point by supplying only the starting value

S.SubString(5)

 

For starting at X, the number of characters away from the last character, you'd do

S.SubString(S.Length - X - 1)

 

If you want the last Y # of characters from the end of the string

S.SubString(S.Length - Y)
