Removing last letter from name if ends with s

Hi Champions,

I want to write a script to remove the last letter from First name if name ends with s.

For eg:

Dear Janis -> Dear Jani

Dear Kaspars -> Dear Kaspar

Dear Karlis -> Dear Karli

Any help here is much appreciated.

OK, sounds like Velocity is the way to go.

#set( $lead.friendlyFirstName = $lead.FirstName.replaceFirst("(?i)s$","") )
${lead.friendlyFirstName}

Easily done in Velocity, but what’s the actual use case here? Did you have a bad data load?

This is a salutation rule in Latvia, we intent to use local language salutation rules in email.
