As you said, substr is the way to go. chop chops off one character, and not more than one. So, if you want to chop off 4 characters using chop, you need to chop 4 times. Either by duplicating the line, or by using a loop. You might want to bail out if the string is empty:
Or although the latter might want to chop an empty string (but only once). Abigail
