chop last character

crmpicco · February 21st, 2007, 08:28 AM

Am i right in saying that chop will remove the last character from a string?

Basically, i have "piccoceraciukscotlandglasgowrangers'" held in a string. How can i remove the ' (apostrophe)? Can i use chop($strname)??

Cheers.

yep, chop removes the last char in a string and returns the char that it chopped. If you use it in a list context it'll chop the last char of each element in the list, and return only the last char it chopped.

Code:

            $picco = "MiniLoyal";
            chop($picco);
            print "picco: $picco\n"; # returns MiniLoya
