How to trim the last character of a string

[ad]

I have a string variable lik:
sList="1.Tiger, 2.Wolf, 3.Rabbit,"
I want to trim off the last character ","

Have there pre-define function to do that?

If you always want to remove the last character, just use:

sList = sList.Substring (0, sList.Length-1);

Or if it's always going to be a comma, and won't be preceded by a
comma, you could just use:

sList = sList.TrimEnd(',');

Strings are immutable, so just copy it length - 1
