Hi,
Can you please help me with String function
I have a list of patients and unfortunately some pts have their names
recorded in various formats like James Edward ; James Edward H;
James Edward J etc
Is it possible to write a code where the funcition removes the last
alphabet for the string if it is listed separately like
James Edward H--> James Edward

Thank you ,
Yours Sincerely,
Mike.
