If a pull a a value from a text file and that value at the end has a period
for example: value "hello." How can I get rid of the period and just grab
the "hello" value. Assuming that I don't know the length of the value.

What do you mean, assuming you don't know the length of the value? You can
easily find the length of the value. I think if you clarify your question,
you will then be able to get an answer. What is it you want to do? Delete
all periods? Delete the last character? Delete the last character only if
it is a period?

Hi,
Take all the contents of the file in a string and use StringTokenizer
or StreamTokenizer. Does this solve the problem. If not, then I may send
you some sample codes for the same.
