is dot(.) presents always, if so, we can split it like this

string s="Formandmanner.AAA";
string data=s.split('.')[1]

output :: .AAA

You can also write an extension method for this

C#

public static string Right(this string s, int length)
        {
            length = Math.Max(length, 0);

            if (s.Length > length)
            {
                return s.Substring(s.Length - length, length);
            }
            else
            {
                return s;
            }
        }

And then you can do

C#

var result = "Formandmanner.AAA".Right(4);

This psedo code may help you.You can use substring also

for (int i =0 ; i < struingtext.length ; i++)
{
   int pos  = stre.length-4;
   if ( i >= pos)
   {
     console.writeline(struingtext[i])

   }

}

1. lenght(Lenght) console(Console) writeline(WriteLine). C# is a C family language and it's case sensitive.
2. Doesn't need "for"
3. The most important is the code doesn't work!

Hello

C#

string text = "abcdefghijklmn";

string myString = (text.Length > 3)? text.Substring(text.Length - 4, 4): text;

MessageBox.Show(myString);

Good answer. 5!
I think there is an overload to get the last part without mentioning length as lentext.Substring(text.Length - 4) instead of text.Substring(text.Length - 4, 4)

Thank you very much VJ.
I think so, but I had not the presence of mind at that time :D

try:

C#

string output = temp.Substring(temp.Length - 4, 4);
