Re: Trimming newlines from calls to system()

>  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.)

VimL slices have nothing to do with python. If they had it would be referenced in documentation.

The only person referencing Python in the discussion you provided link to is saying nonsense. Python support does not make vim able to do define variables without :let. Slice assignment is not supported by python strings. Python support does not make vim able to perform slice assignment on string variables. scott-268 managed to have one sentence with three lies in it.
