Hi Blackdevil
In a string when you are sure the lastcharacter is the lastcomma

mytext = combobox.text.s ubstring(0, combobox.substr ing.text.length-2)

When you do not know it
first
if combobox.text.l enght-2 = "," etc

I hope this helps?

..TrimEnd(",".T oCharArray()

Recently, a heated debate started because of poor mr heathfield was unable to compile a program with // comments. Here is a utility for him, so that he can (at last) compile my programs :-) More seriously, this code takes 560 bytes. Amazing isn't it? C is very ompact, you can do great things in a few bytes. Obviously I have avoided here, in consideration for his pedantic

I have data I need to normalize - it's "name" data. For example, I have the following: "Watts, J.C." I wish to (1) parse the "first name" ("J.C.") and adjust it to "JC". Essentially, I want to remove the punctuation characters from the "first name" substring. I've looked at the basic_string in C++, but I can't find the functions that will _remove" character(s) from a value. There are operators that are helpful in finding the position...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
