I would like to remove a trailing slash from a string. For example if i have a string called $test = "test/". How would I remove the slash at the end?
Use the String. replace() method to remove a trailing slash from a string, e.g. str. replace(/\/+$/, '') . The replace method will remove the trailing slash from the string by replacing it with an empty string.
The Substitution Operator The substitution operator, s///, is really just an extension of the match operator that allows you to replace the text matched with some new text. The basic form of the operator is − s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/; The PATTERN is the regular expression for the text that we are looking for.
A trailing slash is a forward slash (“/”) placed at the end of a URL such as domain.com/ or domain.com/page/. The trailing slash is generally used to distinguish a directory which has the trailing slash from a file that does not have the trailing slash.
With a regular expression do: $test =~ s/\/$//
Alternatively, if you're sure the last character is going to be a slash, you can use the chop function: chop $test
