I need to strip off the trailing \ off of the Directory Browse variable return....Any script solutions out there?

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Yes - this should be possible. Please try the following script actions:



where directory is the variable containing the directory path.

Please note that this will overwrite the original path with the truncated version. If you want to store the truncated version to a new variable, simply change the second line to:



Kind regards,

Many thanks....works a dream

I do get this though when a selection is not made...any ideas of what this is doing?

Action (2, 0) : Object Not Found : The called object is not a valid object type (undefined? null?)

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry.

If the user cancels out of the Directory Browse dialog, the directory variable remains blank. The script action then tries to create a substring from an empty string, resulting in the error message.

The solution is to check whether the directory variable has been populated before the substring is created. The following code should be sufficient:



This checks to see if the directory variable is NOT null. If so, the substring is created. If the directory variable IS null, no actions take place.

I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries.

Kind regards,

Thanks again....I am slowly getting to grips with this.....but very slowly
