Something like this might work for you:

$test =~ s/(.+),/$1/;

That hasn't been tested, but it should work.

or maybe this conveluted way

$test = substr($test,0,len($test)-1) . "?";

[KevinADC]

or simply:

$test =~ s/,$//;

but if you know for sure there is a comma on the end that needs removing and there is no newline or something else:

chop($test);

- Kevin, perl coder unexceptional!

 

[MikeLacey]

or...

chop(chomp($test));

that will take of a newline if it's there

The options are: fast, cheap and right - pick any two. &
