Default Extract characters from a cell


I am trying to extra to extract certain characters from a cell. I know
this should be easy, but I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how.
Each cell has a different amount of characters, and I want the 1st
character and the 5th character from the end. Here are a couple
examples:

dinosaur -- do
minneapolis -- mp

Please help,
Thanks
