1 # strip-final-newline [](https://travis-ci.com/sindresorhus/strip-final-newline) 2 3 > Strip the final [newline character](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline) from a string/buffer 4 5 Can be useful when parsing the output of, for example, `ChildProcess#execFile`, as [binaries usually output a newline at the end](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/729692/why-should-text-files-end-with-a-newline). Normally, you would use `stdout.trim()`, but that would also remove newlines at the start and whitespace. 6 7 8 ## Install 9 10 ``` 11 $ npm install strip-final-newline 12 ``` 13 14 15 ## Usage 16 17 ```js 18 const stripFinalNewline = require('strip-final-newline'); 19 20 stripFinalNewline('foo\nbar\n\n'); 21 //=> 'foo\nbar\n' 22 23 stripFinalNewline(Buffer.from('foo\nbar\n\n')).toString(); 24 //=> 'foo\nbar\n' 25 ``` 26 27 28 ## License 29 30 MIT © [Sindre Sorhus](https://sindresorhus.com)
