Using echo without trailing space in DOS

echo dos space

I noticed that when I use echo to print something to a file in DOS, a space is appended to the string. I need to print the string without the trailing space. Is there a way to do that, or as a workaround, remove trailing spaces from the file?

If I understood the problem correctly, you wrote the trailing space.

Instead of

echo string > file

use

echo string>file
