    In the current script that I am writeing, I used egrep to pull out a
line from returned input.  I then used the - to remove parts of the
string I didn't want, but I still end up with a carriage return
(newline) at the end.  How would I remove that from the string?
 
Example snippet of code is this:
 
repo = egrep(pattern:".*version.*", string:r);
   repo = repo - "<SMALL>SquirrelMail " - "<BR>";
 
the original string looks like
<SMALL>SquirrelMail version 1.2.9<BR>
 
this is causeing problems when trying to compare version numbers.  The
carriage return makes 1.2.9 appear larger than 1.2.10 or 1.3 or anything
I can come up with.
 
Thanks in advance

Randy
