Question To remove the newline character while appending into a file

Hi All,

We append the output of a file's size in a file. But a newline character is appended after the variable.
Pls help how to clear this.

filesize=`ls -l test.txt | awk `{print $5}'`
echo File size of test.txt is $filesize bytes >> logfile.txt

The output we got is,
File size of test.txt is 1024
bytes.

Expected output:
File size of test.txt is 1024 bytes

Thanks,
Amio
