Ok, here is the small portion of code to demonstrate:
CString txt = _T("Hello World");
CString txt2 = txt;
txt2.TrimRight('W');
AfxMessageBox(txt2);
The output is "Hello World".
What am I not getting right ?

does TrimRight return a new string? Should it be `txt2 = txt2.TrimRight('W');`? – Matt Greer Apr 15 '11 at 17:42

I also tried that..., same result – Simon Apr 15 '11 at 17:44

that and `CString txt2 = txt.TrimRight('W')` directly... – Simon Apr 15 '11 at 17:46

The call txt2.TrimRight('W'); removes all characters 'W' from the right side of the string. Since "Hello World" does not end in 'W' nothing is trimmed at all.

I thought it removed all characters to the right of the string after the W, I get the difference now thanks – Simon Apr 15 '11 at 17:56
