hi ...

js is case-sensitive ... so use:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 'D:/folder name/'.lastIndexOf('/');
to get the position of the last slash ;)

now you have to remove the slash but you have to compare the length of your string with the 'slash-position' ... because i assume that you want to remove the ending slashes only?

or simply use the following for the task (that uses a regEx):

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var foo = 'D:/folder name/'; 
  2. foo = foo.replace(/\/$/, '');
  3.  
kind regards
