LINUX - How to remove the final delimiter from a command output

Hi All,

I am trying to list the various dates for which the file is available in a directory using the command below, (& subsequently pass the command output to a loop)

Command :

Code:
ls dir|grep 'filename'|cut -d '_' -f1|cut -c1-8|tr '\n' ','

However, it is giving me an extra comma (highlighted) in the end.

Code:
20111230,20111231,20120101,20120109,20120110,20120111,20120112,

Can you pls help me remove this comma from the end.

Thanks much
Freddie
