I've been reading and searching, but I'm coming up short. Is there a method for finding the last letter of a word and replacing or removing it?

Oh, and to replace the last character you could do something like:
var s = "Hello";var replace_char = "p"; // Replace the last characters = s.slice(0, -1) + replace_char; app.alert(s); // Should display "Hellp"

There a many ways. Here's one:
The "slice" string method is documented in your new JavaScript reference book.

Thanks George for your assist.var s = "Hello"; // Trim off the last characters = s.slice(0, -1); app.alert(s); // Should display "Hell"

Here's what I tried:
var oASRTB = {Dragonborn1: [2, "", "", "", "", 2,"Common, Draconic"],Dwarf: ["", 2, "", "", 2, "","Common, Dwarven"],Eladrin: ["", "", 2, 2, "", "","Common, Elven"],Elf: ["", "", 2, "", 2, "","Common, Elven"],Half_Elf: ["", 2, "", "", "", 2,"Common, Elven"],Halfling: ["", "", 2, "", "", 2,"Common"],HumanS: [2, "", "", "", "", "","Common"],HumanC: ["", 2, "", "", "", "","Common"],HumanD: ["", "", 2, "", "", "","Common"],HumanI: ["", "", "", 2, "", "","Common"],HumanW: ["", "", "", "", 2, "","Common"],HumanH: ["", "", "", "", "", 2,"Common"],Tiefling: ["", "", "", 2, "", 2,"Common"],}; app.popUpMenuEx({cName:"Dragonborn",cReturn:"Dragonborn"},{cName:"Dwarf", cReturn:"Dwarf"},{cName:"Eladrin", cReturn:"Eladrin"},{cName:"Elf", cReturn:"Elf"},{cName:"Half Elf", cReturn:"Half_Elf"},{cName:"Halfling", cReturn:"Halfling"},{cName:"Tiefling", cReturn:"Tiefling"},{cName:"Human",oSubMenu:[{cName:"Strength",cReturn:"HumanS"},{cName:"Constitution", cReturn:"HumanC"},{cName:"Dexterity", cReturn:"HumanD"},{cName:"Intelligence", cReturn:"HumanI"},{cName:"Wisdom", cReturn:"HumanW"},{cName:"Charisma", cReturn:"HumanH"}], }); if(strResult != null){if(strResult.slice(0, -1) == "Human"){getField("Race").value = strResult.slice(0, -1);getField("Race").value = strResult;}//"HumanC" || "HumanD" || "HumanI" || "HumanW" || "HumanH"))getField("Ability_STR_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][0];getField("Ability_CON_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][1];getField("Ability_DEX_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][2];getField("Ability_INT_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][3];getField("Ability_WIS_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][4];getField("Ability_CHA_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][5];getField("LangBasrRace").value = oASRTB[strResult][6];}
Nothing happens at all though. I'm trying to drop the last letter only if human is selected. I'm not finding a solution in the book you recommended other than .slice() and .shift. Any suggestions?
Again, thanks for your time in helping with this.

My guess is that you mean to do the following:
George
var oASRTB = {Dragonborn1: [2, "", "", "", "", 2,"Common, Draconic"],Dwarf: ["", 2, "", "", 2, "","Common, Dwarven"],Eladrin: ["", "", 2, 2, "", "","Common, Elven"],Elf: ["", "", 2, "", 2, "","Common, Elven"],Half_Elf: ["", 2, "", "", "", 2,"Common, Elven"],Halfling: ["", "", 2, "", "", 2,"Common"],HumanS: [2, "", "", "", "", "","Common"],HumanC: ["", 2, "", "", "", "","Common"],HumanD: ["", "", 2, "", "", "","Common"],HumanI: ["", "", "", 2, "", "","Common"],HumanW: ["", "", "", "", 2, "","Common"],HumanH: ["", "", "", "", "", 2,"Common"],Tiefling: ["", "", "", 2, "", 2,"Common"],}; var strResult = app.popUpMenuEx({cName:"Dragonborn",cReturn:"Dragonborn"},{cName:"Dwarf", cReturn:"Dwarf"},{cName:"Eladrin", cReturn:"Eladrin"},{cName:"Elf", cReturn:"Elf"},{cName:"Half Elf", cReturn:"Half_Elf"},{cName:"Halfling", cReturn:"Halfling"},{cName:"Tiefling", cReturn:"Tiefling"},{cName:"Human",oSubMenu:[{cName:"Strength",cReturn:"HumanS"},{cName:"Constitution", cReturn:"HumanC"},{cName:"Dexterity", cReturn:"HumanD"},{cName:"Intelligence", cReturn:"HumanI"},{cName:"Wisdom", cReturn:"HumanW"},{cName:"Charisma", cReturn:"HumanH"}], }); if(strResult != null){if(strResult.slice(0, -1) == "Human"){getField("Race").value = strResult.slice(0, -1);} else {getField("Race").value = strResult;}//"HumanC" || "HumanD" || "HumanI" || "HumanW" || "HumanH"))getField("Ability_STR_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][0];getField("Ability_CON_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][1];getField("Ability_DEX_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][2];getField("Ability_INT_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][3];getField("Ability_WIS_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][4];getField("Ability_CHA_Race").value = oASRTB[strResult][5];getField("LangBasrRace").value = oASRTB[strResult][6];}
