The `strings.trimRight()` function removes trailing characters specified in the
[`cutset`](#cutset) from a string.

_**Output data type:** String_

```js
import "strings"

strings.trimRight(v: ".abc.", cutset: ".")

// returns ".abc"
```

## Parameters

### v {data-type="string"}
String to remove characters from.

### cutset {data-type="string"}
The trailing characters to trim from the string.
Only characters that match the `cutset` string exactly are trimmed.

## Examples

```js
import "strings"

data
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with variables: strings.trimRight(v: r.variables, cutset: ".")}))
```
