Hi,

Is it possible using the trim() family of functions to remove not just white space, but some substring from the right of a string? For example, if I want to remove commas from the right:

string str = "whatever,"; TrimRight(str, ","); // str == "whatever" now.

or a full string to trim:

string str = "hello world"; TrimRight(str, "world"); // str == "hello ";

I could write these simple functions myself but am wondering if boost

Maybe it is "erase_last" what you are looking for:

#include

using namespace algorithm;

string str = "hello world"; erase_last(str,"world"); // str == "hello "
