substitute() regex trim last newline from register ?

Hi,

In visual-line mode when I yank to the * register and then outside of vim paste - I am getting a newline at the end of the selection.

This does not happen in visual block or char mode.

Does anyone know of a way to load into * reg the same selection but have the last newline trimmed off ?

ie something like:

let @* = substitute(@a, "\(.*\)\\n/\1/", "", "")

thx for everything vim,

-m
