RemoveEnding

RemoveEnding (str [, endingStr])​

The RemoveEnding function returns str with endingStr removed from the end. If you omit endingStr, it returns str with one grapheme removed from the end.

Details​

If you specify endingStr, RemoveEnding compares it to the end of str using case-insensitive comparison. If there is a match, RemoveEnding returns the contents of str up to endingStr. If there is no match, RemoveEnding returns the entirety of str.

If you omit endingStr, RemoveEnding returns str with the last grapheme removed. A grapheme is whatever visually appears to be one character even if it consists of more than one character. In "ABC", the last grapheme is "C" which is also the last character. In "ABÇ", "Ç" consists of two characters: a C character and a "combining cedilla" character; RemoveEnding removes "Ç" which is the last grapheme.

Examples​

Print RemoveEnding("123")                   // Prints "12"
Print RemoveEnding("ABÇ")                   // Prints "AB"
Print RemoveEnding("no semi" , ";")         // Prints "no semi"
Print RemoveEnding("trailing semi;" , ";")  // Prints "trailing semi"
Print RemoveEnding("file.txt" , ".TXT")     // Prints "file"
