      Hi everyone,

      First, I wanted to thank the people that answered me a few weeks ago when I was having issues with my Xlate and concatentate/iterate for lab results. I got really busy and never replied back–my solution was pretty long and drawn out–but I got it fixed.  ðŸ˜€  So thank you for those that take the time to answer on this forum.

      I’m still working on lab results, and now I want a regular expression that will find the last .br in a line and simply remove it. I’m sure it’s simple, but I’m missing something.

      Thanks so much and happy Friday,

      Jennifer

          Hi Jennifer,

          Try this to remove the last .br from var1 and put the result in var2:

          Code:


          regsub -all {\.br\$} $var1 “” var2

          This will only work if the .br is the last string in the line! I think this will do, but if there is text after the last .br, you will need some more code…

            Robert,

            Thanks for the regular expression help. I had the $ in front of the \.br\, not behind it.
