String manipulation on both start and end

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 48

Hello,

 

I have a variable called varBase which has a looooong string value inside. 

I want to "trim it" and especially delete some characters on both start and end of this value. 

I have managed to remove the first 22 characters that I want out, by using :
Right(varBase, Len(varBase) -22)

 

However, simultaneously i want to remove the double quote character "  [Ascii 34 / Char(34)] at the end.
Any ideas anyone?

    @SmoothOperator 

    Substitute(Right(varBase, Len(varBase) -22),""","")

    if there was only one " in the string.  If there are more and you want to replace the last one

    With(
     {no:CountRows(MatchAll(varBase, """)),
    Substitute(Right(varBase, Len(varBase) -22),""","",no)
