And "text 4 through end" just sounds weird - "text" is not a countable

English!

Then use the longer way of doing the same thing:

text from character 4 to character -1

Which, since we seem to be on a roll here, could also be applied to:

	text from word 2 to word -2

	text from ninth paragraph to end

	text from the beginning to the fifth text item
