in reply to Extract string from rear of string

Hmmmm. This sounds oddly like the exact same question as in Search a string from beginning or end. Are you two classmates?

    That's rather amusing... By following your link I actually get on to another post that also mentions this particular thread and so i get stuck in an infinite loop ;D.

    But, yeah, actually, is does sort of seem like someone's trying to get his homework question done by exploiting monks' sense of selflesness. What you think? In general, I'm against students who practice this. Unless you figure this out on your own, there's no way you'd be able to learn. It's absolutely OK when you get stuck on some obnoxious bugs or what not (like I always do ;)... however, the question this anonymous monk has posted seems more like a homework question from some nightmarish Perl class hehe. Therefore, I would be hesitant to help... sorry.

      ... I would be hesitant to help...

      My point exactly!
