[RESOLVED] Simple String Manipulation

[maps]

I have values that change in string length.
Say 234547,54677,7899077....
I would like to use substring to get the last five digits from every value.
For example the above would give me 34547,54677,99077
How do i do it?

Use String.Split to split the string at , and then loop through the resulting array to get last 5 characters of easch string.

use Split function and "," as the delimiter then
use loop and Right function.

Sorry, i confused by including the comma there.
Each value is on its own.

Then you can just use Substring to get the last 5 characters.

My problem is that substring maniplulation starts from the left to the right and unless all values have the same length, i cant manipulate to get the last 5 digits.
A work around is what i am seeking.

How about using this

string sTemp = "7899077";
            MessageBox.Show(sTemp.Substring(sTemp.Length - 5,5));

How about this:

Dim myString As String = "234547,54677,7899077,345"
        Dim Ctr As Integer
 
        For Ctr = 0 To Strings.Split(myString, ",", , CompareMethod.Text).Length - 1
            MsgBox(Strings.Right(Strings.Split(myString, ",", , CompareMethod.Text)(Ctr).ToString, 5))
        Next
