Get last two characters of a string

[RP]

I store current year in string format. I want to get the last two
values of the year. For example: if year is 2007, I want 07.

Which string function to use ?

Use Substring and the Length property:

string lastTwoChars = original.Substring (original.Length-2);

In this case, it may be important to mention that you can do:
date.ToString("yy");

to get directly the wanted result.

Kind regards.

Only if the value is a DateTime, while the OP indicated he was storing
the Year as a string.
