removing the last character from a string

[_elic_elico_]

I try to move a paragraph from one textFrame to another.
my code is: myParagraph.move(LocationOptions.before,myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item(-1));
the problem is that the end of paragraph sign moves together with the paragraph.
i think that i have to write:
myString=myParagraph - the last character of the paragraph;
myString.move(LocationOptions.before,myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item(-1));
how do you write the first line in js?

myParagraph.texts.itemByRange(myParagraph.characters[0],myParagraph.characters[-2]).move()

But this will error if the paragraph is empty.

thanks Dave, this idea leaves the enter in its place. is there a way that the enter will vanish?

Just move the whole paragraph and insert this:

if(myTextFrame.characters[-1].contents = "\r"){myTextFrame.character[-1].remove()}

This assumes you didn't cause your text frame to be overset...

there is not a better way than to find /r/r in the parentStory of the textFrame and to change it to /r?
(i have to do it by the script because i have to apply fitContentToFrame and to put it in a specific location on the page)
