Re: Trimming down a number for certain digits that you want

Hi,

Which do you mean: numerically? Something like:

    a = 12333
    print(mod(a, 1000))

or in terms of a string:

   b = "12333"
   print(str_get_cols(b, -3, -1))

Check out the docs on str_get_cols() to understand whats going on there.

Hope that helps…
Rick
