A quick brown regex, please ...

Need to strip "-", "/" and any number of commas after the las character of the string.
This /[\,\/-]/g, "" almost does it, but it strips "all" of the commas. Thanks in advance.

Hmm, sounds like a cracker. I don't know much about RegEx, but one of my guiding
instincts is, whenever the problem contains the word "and" , I look for a
stepwise answer.
For example, here, I would first strip out "/" and "-". Then, in the next
step, I would strip out
the commas at the end.

<cfset s="Need - to strip -, / and any num/ber of commas, after the, last
char-acter, of the string.,,,,,">
<strong>original string:</strong> <cfoutput>#s#</cfoutput><br>
<!--- Step 1 --->
<cfset t = REReplace(s,"[\/-]","","all")>
<strong>"/" and "-" removed:</strong> <cfoutput>#t#</cfoutput><br>
<!--- Step 2 --->
<strong>Trailing commas removed:</strong>
<cfoutput>#REReplace(t,",+$","","all")#</cfoutput>

Thanks very much BKBK. I didn't mention that it was for a JavaScript function.
My fault. And I cannot think about performing the commas replacement with
ColdFusion as the followinf step is using the string in
"FCKConfig.ToolbarSets[userToolbar].innerHTML = regexedString". Thanks anyhow.
Appreciate.

<script language="JavaScript">
s="Need - to strip -, / and any num/ber of commas, after the, last char-acter,
of the string.,,,,,";
alert(s);
re1=/[\/-]/g;
re2=/,+$/;
t1 = s.replace(re1,"");
alert("/ and - removed: "+t1);
t2 = t1.replace(re2,"");
alert("trailing commas removed: "+t2);
</script>

Wow, I swear I didn't do the multiple send!
Thank you BKBK. Cheers for the feedback!
