Hi to all

I have a code which picks up a file name and puts it on the clipboard. The variable picks up an extra back-slash which I don't need. Is there any shortcut to either remove the back-slash at the end of the m.cDir or any other way to go about this.

This is how I remove the slash now :
ccurrdir="c:\drymat\pdf\"
cDir=getdir(ccurrdir,"Select a file to attach to email","File selection screen",16384) && 64 for drag and drop folders
_cliptext=(cDir) &&getfile()
if right(_cliptext,1)="\"
nslash=len(_cliptext)
_cliptext=substr(_cliptext,1,(nSlash-1))
endif

Thanks for your help. Shafid
