Use the "decompose path" component rather than trying to trim strings.

Thanks Vicente, it works great. But how is the Trim String component used?

The substring component doesn't seem to wrap around negative values. You'll have to use the string length component and subtract from it. In your screenshot it looks like setting the slider to 0 and the n input to 1 will get the char you are looking for.

String Trim is basically just a wrapper around System.String.Trim.

I wasn't at home, I answered with the phone.

Funny... I new of a similar app against drunk-driving, but this video seems like a meme. 

Another app could be to used to block Grasshopper at late hours to keep people from getting addicted to it :)

Thanks David. It was actually in the description and tooltip of the component.
