Remove the last character of an array

i'm trying to remove the last character of an array.

I have an array with:

name1;

name2;

Now i want to remove the last ";".

I'v though on something like:

$array = $array | Select -last 1 | foreach{$_.replace(";", "")}

But thats just an idea. Also not working, because it will leave only the last entry.

To change just the last object, process every object of the array and check if it's the last. replace only on the last one:

$array = $array | ForEach-Object { 
    if( $array.IndexOf($_) -eq ($array.count -1) ){
        $_.replace(";","")
    }else{$_}  
}

Try this to remove/replace last semi colon ';' from each element.

$array | foreach{ $_ -replace ';$', '' }

and if you want to remove the same from any where in the string, just remove the $
