How best do a loop with the results separated by a delimiter

Is there an easy way to place delimiters (/) in between list items like:

item1 / item2 / item3 / item4 / item5

    <?php if(get_field( 'pro_test' ) ): ?>
        <ul>
        <?php while( has_sub_field( 'pro_test' ) ): ?>
            <li><?php the_sub_field( 'pro_single' ); ?></li><span>/</span>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
        </ul>
    <?php endif; ?>

Problem would be that in that case the last item would have a / too

item1 / item2 / item3 / item4 / item5 /

Is there an easy and clean way to prevent the / on the last item? In the present example i use the advanced custom field repeater field. Thanks Ralf

I'd use CSS to add the delimiter and then last-child to remove it from the last item in the list.

Use CSS content
