CString::TrimRight does not work properly

[Jewel]

Hello,

I am facing a problem with the CString::TrimRight function. When I try to trim
the extension from a filename using TrimRight(".exe"), some trailing characters
get trimmed too. For example, "Cliente.exe" gets converted to "Client" instead
of "Cliente". Why does this happen and what can I do to resolve the problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

I think that TrimRight removes all occurrences of those characters,
rather than the exact match of them as you seem to assume. You
probably want to use the Left() method to remove the last 4
characters.

Wrong usage!!
If you want get the SubString, you should use the member function:
left(),mid(),or right(); You can using find() find out the substring's
position.
