delete end chars

[JB]

I still can’t get it to work for some reason.  And the
first regex one ends up leaving me the letters that
I wanted to delete instead of leaving the other part.

After getting the others to work in a new stack I tried
them in the script I needed it for and the only one that
would work is the one Colin Holgate wrote.

It seems the ones that used “the text” int the script might
need to refer to a field and not a variable so I re wrote the
script to use a field and it still did not work.  I think it might
be due to the place in the script I needed it is nested deep\
in some repeat commands.

Once again thank you and everyone else for the help.
