Some call it "pedantry", others "attention to detail" but don't forget 
the closing square-bracket!

Depending upon the read-mechanism (whether the end-of-line character(s) 
are included - NB OpSys variations then apply!), a string-slice to 
remove the last character(s), possibly even before the above, will 
do-the-trick!
