Strip off last character of a string

Hi,

I would like to strip off the last character of a string. Any good ideas on how to do that?

Hi Brian,

Try this:

myString = myString[:-2]

In general terms, the format for substrings is:

myString[startIndex:endIndex]

where startIndex and endIndex can be omitted (which defaults to the beginning or end of line) or negative (changes the index to count from the end of the line rather than the start and vice-versa).

String s = "this is my string to chop"

echo( s )

echo( s[1:length(s) -1] )

echo( s[:-2] )
