[Solved] Reading the last word in a file from a script

Hello everybody,

My first time here and my english is not very good I hope you understand me.

I'm trying to read a file that contains two zip archive names.
Here my file content is:
package1.zip package2.zip

At the end of the line there is a \n character.

I read this file from a script shell with a while loop, the reading code is:
Code:
while read -r Package_App Package_Cat
do
echo "$Package_App"
echo "$Package_Cat-----"
done < $FIC_PARAM

The result does not correct because in Package_Cat variable I have the '\n' character too! So, later in my script I can't use the $Package_Cat for finding the archive .zip.

Anyone knows how Can I have only 'package2.zip' in my Package_Cat variable without the \n character?

Thanks so much!!!

ZIP_SET_DEFAULT_PASSWORD(3)				     Library Functions Manual				       ZIP_SET_DEFAULT_PASSWORD(3)

NAME
zip_set_default_password - set default password for encrypted files in zip LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip) SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h> int zip_set_default_password(struct zip *archive, const char *password); DESCRIPTION
The zip_set_default_password function sets the default password used when accessing encrypted files. If password is NULL, the default password is unset. If you prefer a different password for single files, use zip_fopen_encrypted(3) instead of zip_fopen(3). Usually, however, the same pass- word is used for every file in an zip archive. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error information in archive is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
zip_set_default_password fails if: [ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated. SEE ALSO
libzip(3), zip_fopen(3), zip_fopen_encrypted(3) AUTHORS
