Hi,

I've found this code :

%[%Z,%[%Z]] returns the string minus the last character. This is actually what I want. Is this expected behaviour with the script as shown ie reliable?

Cheers,

Pete

Hi Pete,

%[%Z,n] returns the substring preceding the nth character.

n=%[%Z] is the number of characters in %Z.

So %[%Z,%[%Z]] should return the string minus the last character. (Labtalk indices start with 1.)
