RE: [sqlite] Stripping a newline character

[Rob Richardson]

Please forgive my idiocy.  I was more tired than I thought.  First, I
posted this message to the wrong mailing list (I wanted a Python list),
and second, I made a dumb, silly assumption about how the method worked.

I am using a serial communications package that includes a readline()
method to talk to a bar-code scanner.   Readline() gives me a string
whose last character is a newline ('\n').  I am trying to get rid of the
newline.  MyString.strip('\n') isn't working.  It has no effect.  How
should I do this?


It seem you pushed the wrong button, but every barcode scanner I
worked with (though I'm certain there are much more different types
out there) had a way to configure the output. So you can just program
the scanner to not send the terminating '\n' (with PS/2 scanners wich
"attach" between the keyboard and the PC I used other function to add
a prefix for the code - like 0x02 [STX] - so I could easily
distinguish codes originated from the scanner and the real keyboard).

Anyway, it seems trivial to just ignore that last '\n'...

What language are you using?
