sed -i 's/\.$//' /path/to/file

This will match a literal period that is anchored to the end of the line, and replace it with nothing. The -i tells sed to make the change inline.

Just use sed:

sed 's/\.$//' yourfile
  • Escape the special character . using \.
  • Put an achor $ to only remove it from the end.
  • To make infile changes use -i option of sed.
