Remove trailing slash from a path

[glenharvy]

Hi,

Given a path of say "C:\Trash\My Trash Bin\Files\", is there some easy way to remove the trailing slash?

Dear Glen,

you could use "Parse String" command along with "split at the last occurence of the pattern", in order to remove the last slash from a given path (if any).

Example (opy and past the InstallAware Clipboard Data below in your script) ;

Code: Select all

~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~MessageBox~
~{2723557B-A452-45FC-83B8-E24EE96E1A1C}~
~~
~MY_NEW_PATH=$MY_NEW_PATH$~
~0~
~1~
~~
~Parse String~
~{93464BCC-07A7-466B-8B46-07645D1EDACB}~
~$MY_PATH$~
~\~
~MY_NEW_PATH~
~~
~1~
~FALSE~
~FALSE~
~Set Variable~
~{58D06FB1-EFD0-4D8F-9ECC-84BCA55E62AF}~
~MY_NEW_PATH$MYAH$MYAH$FALSE~
~~
~Set Variable~
~{84FB7472-5A15-457A-A4DB-E40C51561ECB}~
~MY_PATH$MYAH$MYAH$FALSE~
~C:\Trash\My Trash Bin\Files\~

hope this helps you.

Would need to check first that the last character was indeed the last slash

Dear Gary,

in fact it's what the code already does.
