get the last for digits of the messages and create another array with them

i asked before how to get the last 4 digits of a certain message but what i want to do is to create a string with those numbers here is the code that I hace and an exemple of the type of message:

TimeAIS1 = [];

for i=1:1:N

seq1=AIS1(i)

linia=convertStringsToChars(seq1);

linia(end-3:end)

TimeAIS1 = [TimeAIS1,linia(end-3:end)];

end

TimeAIS1([TimeAIS1],:) = [];

My result is a char and what i want is a string with those numbers. the type of message is the following:

"!AIVDM,2,1,3,B,54hG=R82FP2e`LQc:208E8<v1HuT4LE:2222220U1pI446b;070PDPiC3kPH,0*720000"

Thank you so much

They are characters because you convert your string to a character array. Ether convert the result back to a string using string, or better yet, use a function designed to operate on strings like extractAfter.

AIS1(1) = "!AIVDM,2,1,3,B,54hG=R82FP2e`LQc:208E8<v1HuT4LE:2222220U1pI446b;070PDPiC3kPH,0*720000";

TimeAIS1 = [];
for i=1:1
    seq1=AIS1(i);
    TimeAIS1 = [TimeAIS1,extractAfter(seq1,strlength(seq1)-4)]
end

TimeAIS1 = "0000"

So if AIS1 is a string of 17200x1 its gonna work??

It should be rather easy to run it and see.
