I am trying to figure out how to trim just the last 2 characters from a string before I save it. Any help is greatly appriciated!

Your results `truncated by 7`.

Or use a RegEx expression to remove that.

Ideally I would like to get a character count and remove two from the back because I don’t know how long the string will be but I do know I will always want to axe the last two characters.
