Subject:   Syntax for creating a string variable out of the last 6 digits of another string variable
Content-Type:   multipart/alternative;

Hello - have a string variable with data of differing lengths in it. However, the last 6-digits are a unique identifier. I'd like to create a separate string variable with only those 6 digits. Anyone know some syntax for this? I'm sure it is an easy fix! Can't seem to use strung or concat functions as the data are different lengths. Example below. Many thanks! Nancy
