Search string for trailing quote character and trim it?

If you want to search a string for a trailing quote character and remove it if it exists, you can do so using various programming languages. Here are examples using Python, JavaScript, and Ruby:
Python:
pythoninput_string = 'Some text with trailing quote"'
if input_string.endswith('"'):
input_string = input_string[:-1]
print(input_string)
JavaScript:
javascriptlet inputString = 'Some text with trailing quote"';
if (inputString.endsWith('"')) {
inputString = inputString.slice(0, -1);
}
console.log(inputString);
Ruby:
rubyinput_string = 'Some text with trailing quote"'
if input_string.end_with?('"')
input_string = input_string[0...-1]
end
puts input_string
In all of these examples, the endswith
(Python) or endsWith
(JavaScript) or end_with?
(Ruby) function is used to check if the string ends with a specific character (in this case, a double quote "
) and then the trailing character is removed using string slicing.
Choose the example that corresponds to the programming language you're using, and replace 'Some text with trailing quote"'
with your actual input string.
