Yes, I've gotten in the habit of deleting it immediately:
global myVariable
repeat x
put someNumber or someOtherThing & comma after myVariable
end repeat
delete char -1 of myVariable
In fact, I even have a separate handler to save me from having to type
"delete char -1 of <var>" all the time; it's called KLC (kill last
character):
on KLC @pWhat
delete char -1 of pWhat
end KLC
That way, I can do:
KLC myVariable
and immediately following this command, myVariable has been trimmed
appropriately.
