May have been answered, but I couldn't find it.

I'm trying to make a backspace key in a typing program and I'm currently doing:

and it's not very effective when the string gets long.

Thanks.

you can save 2 varaibles with this :D
also you can cut the huge string (while writing) into lots of small strings and save then in a list to edit the last item

An alternative is to put each new character in a list. You can set a variable to a list and if it only contains single characters you'll get a string just containing those characters. That gives you easier options for deleting characters.

i have tried this in my projects and it does not work properly.
it turns the command “print (argument)” into “ppp”

Try this:

Create a list named stl (string-to-list)

Now use the

variable to get the removed letter from the text!
