Replacing last character in a string

[mdr227]

What would the coding be to replace the last character in a string?

For example, if my variable varString = 'This is a test,'
and I want to replace the comma at the end with nothing so the result is 'This is a test' how would I do that?

Something like this:

Replace(varString,Right(varString,1),"")

if it is the comma that you want to replace always...then you can simply say

Replace(varString,",","")

-DNG

oops, i think my first suggestion is wrong...try this instead...

strlen=len(varString)

newstr=Left(varString,(strlen-1))
