Answer 1

If the last part of the string is always the same length (5 characters) you could use this method to extract the last part:

- (NSString *)substringFromIndex:(NSUInteger)anIndex

Use the length of the string to determine the start index.

Something like this:

NSString *inputStr = @"http://www.abc.com/news/read/welcome-new-gig/03276";
NSString *newStr = [inputStr substringFromIndex:[inputStr length]-5];
NSLog(@"These are the last five characters of the string: %@", newStr);
