I asked for reverse of string bcoz i can take values b/w 2nd and 3rd '_'
's flatly then reverse obtained string

The problem with earlier post is ,how can i correctly gusses a charecter
just after third but last '_' , it is error prone, otherwise that logic
is good

Any one plse guide me, is there any way other than reversing string?
