Wackiness with TrimEnd in Powershell

Shane O’Neill digs into TrimEnd:

A couple of days ago, I was running some unit tests across a piece of PowerShell code for work and a test was failing where I didn’t expect it to.

After realising that the issue was with the workings of TrimEnd and my thoughts on how TrimEnd works (versus how it actually works), I wondered if it was just me being a bit stupid.

So I put a poll up on Twitter, and I’m not alone! 60% of the people answering the poll had the wrong idea as well.

The way that works is…not what I would have expected.
