Re: Delete Last Item in A List

Wow. I am embarrassed. Code works fine now. The | were actually
l's. I dont recall ever seeing something delimited with an l...but I
suppose it could make sense since its a line coord. Anyway, thanks to
everyone for the help. My appreciated.

Argh. I omitted something in that original string that I didnt think
would matter, but apparently it does...becasue I cant get any of those
examples to work (but thanks so much for the help)

You also forgot to quote what you are replying to.

The string actually looks like this:

var drawPathList = 'm 23,34||45,67||456,678||43,78';

note the m in the beginning and no || at the end.

The m and || don't matter to split. If the solution posted by Evertjan
isn't "working" then something else in your code is causing the problem
Post a URL to a sample page.

But, there is a solution without using arrays at all.
var oldList = 'm 23,34||45,67||456,678||43,78';
var newList = oldList.substring(0,oldList.lastIndexOf('||'));
alert(newList);

gives

m 23,34||45,67||456,678

Which is what you wanted, isn't it?
