Description

Returns a path name without a trailing delimiter.

Note: Do not use this method for new development. In particular, if you are doing multi-device development, we recommend that you use the next-generation implementation, System.SysUtils.ExcludeTrailingPathDelimiter, which provides support for mobile platforms as well.

ExcludeTrailingPathDelimiter returns S, with the trailing path delimiter (PathDelim, '\' on Windows, '/' otherwise) removed. If the last character in S is not a delimiter, then S is returned unchanged.

Note: ExcludeTrailingPathDelimiter works with multibyte character sets (MBCS).

Platform	Sample Input (S)	Output
Windows	C:\Your\Input\Path	C:\Your\Input\Path
	C:\Your\Input\Path\	C:\Your\Input\Path
OS X	/Your/Input/Path	/Your/Input/Path
	/Your/Input/Path/	/Your/Input/Path
iOS Android	This method does not support mobile platforms.
