the above code is working fine if the no of aplhabets in input variable is not multiple of 3... if it is mutliple of three then it places a comma at the end like this
Code:
case 1:
input : $var="A,B,C" //Only 3 alphabets
output: A,B,C, // comma not reqd at the end
expected : A,B,C
case2:
input : $var="A,B,C,D,E,F" // 6 alphabets
output: A,B,C, D,E,F, // comma not reqd at the end
expected : A,B,C, D,E,F // a white space after 3 alphabets
case 3:
input : $var="A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H" // not a multiple of 3
output: A,B,C, D,E,F, G,H // coming as expected
expected : same as output
pls help me to remove the comma coming at the end
