Sorry : Earlier mail had a typo in Subject line which might look in-appropriate to my friends
Hi, I've a list some of whose elements with character \. I want to delete this last character from the elements that have this character set at their end, I have written a small program, unfortunately this does not work: dirListFinal = [] for item in dirList: print item if item.endswith('\\') == True: item = item[0:-1] # This one I googled and found to remove the last character / dirListFinal.append(item) else: dirListFinal.append(item) item.endswith() does not seem to be working. Please help -- Regrads, Rajat -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
