Dan, yes I would just write the normal code but... in this particular instance, it's a front end management GUI that only accepts a regex as a parameter. I don't have access to the backend on this baby. Thanks!

You can.<br />
Click on &quot;Request attention&quot; and ask a mod to reopen the question. <br />
Then you can redistribute the points as you see fit.<br />

You can.
Click on "Request attention" and ask a mod to reopen the question.
Then you can redistribute the points as you see fit.

HTH,

Step one has been performed.

C'mon I already saw that the question was closed before I answered. No need to redistribute points. Really.

Regex: show the last n characters of a string

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.

Regular Expressions

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
