delete end chars

[JB]

Thank you for the reply and code.

I can’t seem to get it to work right.
The only thing I could make it do is
if ABC is string1 and ABC us string2
it will delete string2 but if chars are
before the ABC in string2 nothing is
deleted.

Even so it is good code and I might
need to use it sometime.
