Howto remove CRLF from System.out.println

My output looks like this:

[steve@centos01 src]$ java -cp . getCount
1374
[steve@centos01 src]$

The java code is simply:

rs = st.executeQuery("select count(*) from calls");
        while(rs.next()) {
              String total= rs.getString(1);
              System.out.println(total);
        }

I want the output to look like this:

[steve@centos01 src]$ java -cp . getCount
1374[steve@centos01 src]$

Then the "cacti" graphing process will be able to read the value and process it.

I've tried trim() and replace() and length(-2).

What am I missing?

Thanks
