Remove trailing character(s) from string in Javascript
What is an acceptable way to remove a particular trailing character from a string?
For example if I had a string:
> "item,"
And I wanted to remove trailing ','s only if they were ','s?
Thanks!
Solution 1:
Use a simple regular expression:
var s = "item,";
s = s.replace(/,+$/, "");
Solution 2:
if(myStr.charAt( myStr.length-1 ) == ",") {
myStr = myStr.slice(0, -1)
}
Solution 3:
A function to trim any trailing characters would be:
function trimTrailingChars(s, charToTrim) {
var regExp = new RegExp(charToTrim + "+$");
var result = s.replace(regExp, "");
return result;
}
function test(input, charToTrim) {
var output = trimTrailingChars(input, charToTrim);
console.log('input:\n' + input);
console.log('output:\n' + output);
console.log('\n');
}
test('test////', '/');
test('///te/st//', '/');
