Sorry : Earlier mail had a typo in Subject line which might look
in-appropriate to my friends
Hi,
I've a list some of whose elements with character \.
I want to delete this last character from the elements that have this
character set at their end,
I have written a small program, unfortunately this does not work:
dirListFinal = []
for item in dirList:
print item
if item.endswith('\\') == True:
item = item[0:-1] # This one I googled and
found to remove the last character /
dirListFinal.append(item)
else:
dirListFinal.append(item)
item.endswith() does not seem to be working.
Please help

[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>s = "hello\\" s.endswith("\\")
True
>>s[:-1]
'hello'
I hate to say "works for me", but it works for me. Perhaps you should
put some debugging statements in your code to see if that data you are
working on is what you are expecting.

Try something like this:
>>x = 'test\\' if x.endswith('\\'):
x = x[:-1]
This works with Python 2.5.2 on Windows XP.

There is just a single \ at the end of every item. My list is as below:
['Results v1.0/', 'Results v1.1/']
so,
if x.endswith('\\'):
is that correct?

Sorry Guys. I did rubbish here and bothered you guys.
I did not recognize that I need to check for / character and not \
Really very sorry. Working for the last 14 hrs, could not see this
properly. Its time I must go home and take rest.

if your list contains forward slashes, maybe you should test for forward
slashes and not backward slashes.
