Text Editor Unable to delete last new line character
I am using Geany, to edit a simple file on ubuntu. There is a strange error. When i delete the last '\n' character, when I save it is still there. I do not want a newline line character because I am using matlab to parse the file, and it counts the '\n' character as 1 character. Any help to remove it from the file? Why does my text editor not working?

According to the documentation there is an "Ensure newline at file end" option when saving (under Preferences -> Files), try disabling that.
As a related story (and if anyone should come by this through googling), I had the same problem with Nano not long ago - turns out you need to start it with the -L switch to make it not insert newlines at the end.
