Hi all, I have a numeric vector with 1 decimal place, and I'd like to extract the last 3 characters, including the decimal point. The vector ranges from 0 to 20. x<- round(runif(100)*20, digits=1)

Some of numbers have 3 characters, and some have 4. I've read up on the substr() function but that extracts characters based on exact positions. How can I extract just the last 3 characters no matter the length of the number? e.g. from 16.7 I want 6.7, from 3.5 I want 3.5 as it is.
