Hi Richmond, Wouldn’t that just delete the last char? I need to check for all characters in the first string to see if they all exist in the same order of the last chars of the second string. I know I could use a repeat to see if the characters all exist and then if they do I could use a repeat that many times to delete the last character. I was thinking there might be a faster or at least smaller way to write the code. Would a regex be better and if so how do you write the regex properly?
