how to remove specify characters at the end of string?

Question

I have some paths like so:

/dir
/dir//
/dir///
/path/to/dir
/path/to/dir/
/path/to/dir///
/path/to/dir/////////

I want to make it clearer using bash. I want to remove all / characters at the end of path and having: /path/to/dir or /dir without / at the end.

Answer 1

This might be a possible solution:

sed -e 's/[/]*$//g'

For instance:

echo '/path/to/dir/////////' | sed -e 's/[/]*$//g'

gives you:

/path/to/dir
