StringinStr an d StringRight..

[EndFunc]

Ok I've been trying to trim a UNC path and getting stumped. Sometimes I can get the hardest things and the things I think should be easy, I get stumped. LOL

Well say I have a unc path

\\pathtomyscript\users\

I want to take off the last \ on that string.

That was easy enough using stringinstr but then, it would still count any \ it finds and trims the last letter. I only want it to trim the last slash if its there if its not the last character in the string then do nothing.

I tried

$Path = "\\pathtomyscript\users\"
If StringinStr($Path, "\", "2", "-1", "1", "1") Then
$tPath = StringTrimRight($Path, "1")
End

So the result I want to be \\pathtomyscript\users but only if the string had a \ on the end to begin with.

But that only works if the \ is on the end. If it's not it removes the s in users. I can't figure out how to not process this if there is a \ on the end only.

If StringRight($Path, 1) = "\" Then $Path = StringTrimRight($Path, 1)

Or just one function call:

$Path = StringRegExpReplace($Path, "\\+\z", "")

If StringRight($Path, 1) = "\" Then $Path = StringTrimRight($Path, 1)

Seriously? LOL told you it was easy. I was close. I guess I really need a better understanding of how some of these string commands work.

Thanks for quick response.

I would never get this on my own. I am fairly decent using the String commands but Regular expression is just even more greek. I leave with a headache. lol

Thanks again.

Corrected your spelling.
