removing new line character

ammu · #1 (**permalink**) 01-14-2008

I'm appending header and trailer record for a binary file using

echo "$header" > filename
cat oldfilename >> filename
echo "$trailer" >> filename

The echo is introducing newline character after header and trailer.Please let me know is there any possibility to get rid of newline character.

Code:

echo "$header\c" > filename

same will work for the trailer portion.
