VBScript/Classic ASP testing for single forward slash (/)

Question

I'm trying to determine if a string ends with a forward slash in classic ASP.

if right(upath, 1)="/" then
    upath=left(upath,len(upath-1))
end if

The value of upath is in this instance is "/ct3test/aces/aces_roi/".

But I keep getting the error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: '[string: "/ct3test/aces/aces_r"]'

I've tried Chr(47) with the same results. It doesn't like the forward slash and escaping it with "\" doesn't seem to help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sad to me that someone down-voted your question. I'm seeing a lot of what I consider intolerance on this site. You posted your code. You had an honest mistake in it. That's part of what this site is for; collaboration. So it bugs me when people down-vote for stuff like this. So I upvoted it. — ScotterMonkey

if right(upath, 1)="/" then
    upath=left(upath,len(upath)-1)
end if

The parenthesis was placed at a wrong place
