mid function

[Martin Obongita]

Hi all,
The mid function returns a substring of a specified length starting a specific position from a larger string.Is there a way to use a function to start from the end of string then count backwards?I am thinking of strings with suffixes with different lengths and I want to $sendallref all strings ending with say "list".Something like mid($sendallref.lColsName,0,-4))Rgds, Martin.
