window;

rowColumnLayout -nc 2;

textField -text "Im a string of text" nphText;

button -l "Backspace" -c "nphBackspace";

showWindow;

proc nphBackspace()

{

string $text = `textField -q -text nphText`;

textField -e -text (startString($text, (size($text)-1))) nphText;

}




here you are.

Explanation:
grabs text from field, takes it size - 1 and uses that for startString command.
startString is really usefull, it just takes the string and outputs from the start through the number of chars you told it.

then i just set that text back into the text field.

Let me know if that isnt a broken down anough section of code, I can certainly expand that out for you.
