[Farzan H. <far...@ho...>]

Is there any function in C/C++ that can return string containing a =20
specified number of characters from the right side of another string?

dest = source.substr(source.length() - n, n);

I assume you mean something like this:

string s = 'this_is_a_string';

And you want, say, 'string'.

You can do this:

string result = s.substr(s.size() - 6);

There's a lot of other stuff you can do with strings.  Here's a few 
string pages.
