Description

Returns a path name without a trailing delimiter.

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 iOS Android Linux	/Your/Input/Path	/Your/Input/Path
	/Your/Input/Path/	/Your/Input/Path
