Requirement:
Need to get last 5 characters of a string.
My Thoughts:
Sounds a simple requirement but the place from where I read this requirement had mentions of assigning it to buffer and the finding out the size 
When I thought about this requirement the first thing that came to my mind is that it is possible to do this with the help of substring function
Solution:
Wrote a small 3 line script 
given below and was able to fulfill the requirement.
var teststr = “sdfsdfsdfsfjksdhfdsflskdf12345″;
var len = teststr.length;
var subs = teststr.substring(len-5);
But then I said to myself is there any other way to do it through configuration or something but was not able to find anything. If you guys know anything that I don’t please let us all know.
Waiting for you comments.

If the value is required for any validations or to populate another field you may consider using Right([fieldName],5) on a calculated value or in any expression like pre/post default value.
Right and Left functions work for the above requirement. The Arguments being the FieldValue and the number of characters you need as a sub string.

Right and Left functions in the calculated value(for calc fields) work for the above requirement. The Arguments being the FieldValue and the number of characters you need as a sub string.
