Remove extra line in Text file using Autoit
I using the Autoit program to create my own program. I have been trying to figure out how how to remove a blank line in a text file. We have a program that outputs a text file. The problem is that it adds a blank line at the end of the file.
when I use the command _FileCountLines
it comes back and says there is 10 lines but when you open the text file you can click on the 11th line. The problem with that is that the company we are uploading this file to says we have to remove that blank line.

The program uses a sql store procedure to create the .txt file. It just has a blank line at the end. Trying to figure out how to get rid of it.
It's been awhile since I last used AutoIT, but I think you should try StringReplace to remove the last line.
Something like:
yourstring = StringReplace(yourstring, @CRLF, '', -1)
If I remember correctly the -1 will remove the last occurrence of what ver you are trying to replace. You may also want to search for just @CR or @LF if @CRLF doesn't work. Also you may have to mix functions like StringReplace(StringRight(
