How to stop vim from adding a newline at end of file?

by

And for vim 7.4+ you can use (preferably on your .vimrc) (thanks to 罗泽轩 for that last bit of news!):

:set nofixendofline

Now regarding older versions of vim.

Even if the file was already saved with new lines at the end:

vim -b file
and once in vim:

:set noeol
:wq

done.

alternatively you can open files in vim with :e ++bin file

Yet another alternative:

:set binary
:set noeol
:wq

see more details at Why do I need vim in binary mode for ‘noeol’ to work?
