st: editing of a variable content in stata
Date

I have a variable that is a code identifier for firms. it contains letters and
numbers. I would like to remove the first two digits (these are letters) and
the last one from each firm identifier. Is this possible in stata?
Ex.
Firm Code
irm1 If7890
Firm2 Fr5671
Firm3 er4560
I would like to have at the end:
Firm Code
Firm1 789
Firm2 567
Firm3 456
