>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

cDir=getdir(ccurrdir,"Select a file to attach to email","File selection screen",16384)  && 64 for drag and drop folders
