How do I get the last character from a label?

I found code to get information about what operator was working on a specific processor.

if (gettasktype(ts, 4) == TASKTYPE_UTILIZE) {
treenode processor = gettaskinvolved(ts, 4, 2); 
setlabel(processor, "operator", current); 
}

I then attach the label FROM the processor TO the flow item.

From there I'm trying to use that information that is connected to the flow item in 'port by case' scenario in a queue, but it currently fails. Does data have to be an integer?? Could i at come point in the process grab the last character from the operator name ( i won't use more than 10 people)?

My goal is to split work completed in queues based on which operator last worked on the flowitem

queue labels processor flowitem ports by label

FYI, the code snippet is from the OnResourceTaskSequence of the operator. The operator is connected to a dispatcher.

You can use

str.charAt(str.length).toNum()

where str is the name of your operator. This will output the last character as an int

I made a label "Op" on the operator.

if (gettasktype(ts, 4) == TASKTYPE_UTILIZE) {
treenode processor = gettaskinvolved(ts, 4, 2); 
setlabel(processor, "operator", current.Op);  }
