PathRemoveBackslash

LPTSTR PathRemoveBackslash(
    LPTSTR lpszPath
    );

Removes the trailing backslash from a given path.

• Returns the address of the NULL that replaced the backslash, or the address of the last character if it's not a backslash.

lpszPath

Address of the string from which to remove the backslash.

Example:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include "Shlwapi.h"

void main( void )
{
	
    // Path with backslash.
	char buffer_1[] = "c:\\a\\b\\File\\"; 
	char *lpStr1;
	lpStr1 = buffer_1;

    // Path before "PathRemoveBackslash".
	cout << "Path before calling \"PathRemoveBackslash\": " << lpStr1 << endl;

    // Call function "PathRemoveBackslash".
    PathRemoveBackslash(lpStr1);

    // Path after "PathRemoveBackslash".
	cout << "Path after calling \"PathRemoveBackslash\": " << lpStr1 << endl;

}
OUTPUT:
==================
Path before calling "PathRemoveBackslash": c:\a\b\File\
Path after calling "PathRemoveBackslash": c:\a\b\File
