Re: Trimming newlines from calls to system()

Usually if you know for sure that command will output trailing newline (which you do in something like 90% of cases) you just use `system()[:-2]`. `substitute(system(), "\n*$", '', '')` if you want to trim any amount of newlines (like `str.rstrip('\n')` in python).

 Thanks. Am I correct, however, in thinking that the first method assumes Python support in the Vim instance? (See http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/String-manipulation-in-vim-scripts-tp1169327p1169330.html.)
