Trimming Field with Variable Lengths 1

[shortamericano]

Hello Forum,

I have a field called "Locations" that returns data in the following fashion:

Head,
Head, Leg,
Arm,
Head, Arm, Leg, Torso,

I am trying to create an expression that will trim the comma at the end of the data. The "Trim" function removes spaces but not characters. Does anybody know of a way to do this?

Thank you very much in advance! You all have been such a great help in the past.

If the last character is always the comma, you can use an expression like:
Left(Locations, Len(Locations) -1)

Thanks for your reply dhookom! After I made a small adjustment to account for null values, it worked like a charm.
