Question How to remove a newline character at the end of filename
Hi All,
I have named a file with current date,time and year as follows:

month=`date | awk '{print $2}'`
date=`date | awk '{print $3}'`
year=`date | awk '{print $6}'`
time=`date +%Hh_%Mm_%Ss'`
filename="test_"$month"_"$date"_"$year"_"$time".txt"
> $filename

The file is created with a newline character at the end (after .txt) of the filename. Am not getting why this is happening.. Can u help me??

Thanks,
Amio
