I am making in a sense, a backspace button. The label looks like something as follows. “ **12345654321** ” How can I get the last letter and set it to _nothing_? I tried **replace all " " with " "** but of course, from the example above, that would remove the first character. Would love some help on this! Thanks. **(edit)** **I fixed this by getting substring from letter 1 to length of text - 1. Works a dream 🙂** ---
