[Laszlo-dev] what's the best way to trim a trailing whitespace or newline from a string in a bash shell script?

[Henry Minsky]

I have a shell script which binds a variable to the output of a program, and
there is a newline
at the end of it that I want to remove. What is the best way to do this? Is
there a bash builtin
which handles that, or should I just run it through sed?
