Thanks for your help in advance.

Answer 1

have a look at .Substring() method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.substring.aspx

Answer 2

Dim strTicket as string="56789-091F0"
Console.WriteLine(strTicket.Substring(strTicket.Length-2,1))

Check that your string is long enough before doing this tho!!

Answer 3

use the substring

      "56789-091F0".Substring(Len("56789-091F0")-2,1)

Answer 4

Just select it as you would the next to last element of an array. I don't see the need for all the extra stuff.

Dim newChar As Char = strTicket(strTicket.Length - 2)

Answer 5

Dim s As String = "56789-091F0"
Dim c as Char = s(s.length - 2)
