- Avoiding extra line in Command Line Output
- Posted by Nathan Sokalski on January 14th, 2005
I have several batch files (*.bat) that redirect their output to files.
However, they all add a blank line at the end which I do not want. What can
I do to get rid of this extra line? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Your program probably ends with a blank line - remove the last newline
marker. Either that or the last command outputs a trailing blank.

I was probably a little bit unclear when I said what I was doing. I'm not
really using any batch files, just a series of commands separated by && .
The commands that I am using are sort, copy, and del, so I'm assuming the
one that adds the extra line is sort since the original input file does not
have any blank lines.

Curious, you asked a *totally* misleading XP console question is four
inappropriate newsgroups. That is just *wrong*.
SORT does add a blank line - many, if not most, commands do. Anything
that terminates all its lines with \n, and that's just about
everything, does. To avoid it, you have to handle printing the last
line in a different way and few programmers go to the usually
unnecessary trouble to do that - in fact, some apps consider a line
that doesn't end with \n to be an error.
