I would like to use the assign_variable function to set a variable to equal segment_2.

However, what I need to do is trim 1 character off the end of it.

For example, segment_2 may be “signs”. I want to assign the variable the value “sign”.

It doesn’t appear that you can use backspace=“1” with assign_variable.

Suggestions on how to do what I want?

Thanks!!

Jason,

There are probably others, but I use:

phpstringfun

Jason,

As Kernon suggests an add-on here may work. You also might run into a template parse issue as the assign_variable is parsed so early. Let us know how you get on

I ended up using PHP to do it.

<?php
    $myCat = substr("{segment_2}",0,-1)
?>

The I just echo the variable where I need it. Thanks to Kernon for reminding me the PHP string functions. 😊

Thanks for the assist on that one, Kernon. Got everything squared away, Jason?

Yeah… for this thread anyways.

I’m going crazy with category issues.  😖

Thanks Jason. If your category thread pops up in Technical support we will get to it.
