Field - trim final string

GRCTools manual | Index

Purpose: to remove a user-defined character or string at the final position(s) of the string within a field, if it occurs there.

This is a general process that can be run on any character field. It removes a user-defined character or string at the final position(s) of the string within a field, if it occurs there.

Example: Station House High Street / , remove /, produces Station House High Street .

Information required: For each chosen field, specify the character or string to be removed.

image If you specify multiple fields to process, you are asked for this parameter for each field. However, the parameter is fixed within the program. Only the final choice is taken. Thus, if you choose a string to remove from the first field, and a different one for the second field, the second string is used for all fields as it overwrites the first string. If you wish to use different strings for this process for different fields, run the process multiple times.
