Article #28478: How to remove the backslash from the end of a path.

QUESTION: How can I make sure there is no backslash at the end of a path? ANSWER: Delphi has a function called: ExcludeTrailingPathDelimiter. This will return a string with one backslash '/' removed from the end if it has one (or more). Below is one example of how this function works. There is another function called: ExcludeTrailingBackslash, this is only included for backwards compatibility (this function should not be used). procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var DirPath : string; begin DirPath := Edit1.Text; ShowMessage(ExcludeTrailingPathDelimiter(DirPath)); end;
