[casper4215]

anyone know how to copy the last three characters of LName from this data structure?

struct shipInfo
{
       string shipDate;
       int PartNo;
       string TrackingNo;
       string FName;
       string LName;
       string Company;
};

shipInfo ship[numrecs] = {{"12/01/2014",50625,"C74444","Robo","Cop","SeePlusPlus"},
                               {"31/01/2014",60752,"X75255","Power","Rangers","Whatsup"},
                               {"10/02/2014",40295,"G74477","Kiki","Lalat","Bingo&Co"},
                               {"15/03/2014",23745,"A71232","Cicak","Man","LizardoLtd"},
                               {"12/01/2014",70892,"M76321","Miki","Maus","CarToon"}};

First use size() to find the length of the string, then use substr() to obtain the required part of the string.

    string temp;
    size_t len = ship[i].LName.size();
    if (len >= 3)
        temp = ship[i].LName.substr(len-3);
