Some of these examples are more complicated than you might need  To remove a single slash  from anywhere  leading or trailing   you could get away with something as simple as this  let no trailing slash url   site replace            Complete example  let site1    quot www somesite com quot     let site2    quot www somesite com  quot      function someFunction site        let no trailing slash url   site replace               return no trailing slash url     console log someFunction site2       www somesite com  Note that  replace      returns a string  it does not modify the string it is called on
