Try below expression.

     strInput.Substring(strInput.Length-4,3)

Here strInput variable holds your input string.

Hi @RPA-botDev,

A dynamic alternative : Left(Right("Porridge",4),3)

This takes four last characters first, then it takes the first 3 characters.

Hi Lakshman, is there a dynamic variable holding 4, or for all strings I should add length-4?

You can add -4 for all strings as per your required output.
