Trim with charlist arguments

[Anon]

I want to use the trim command to get rid of a trailing slash that is showing up on my displayed text. how do i tell the trim command to get rid of a '\' ? See code below:

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$quotes=file("quotes.dat");
$select=rand(0, count($quotes)-1);
echo "<br>";
$showit = $quotes[$select];
echo trim($showit);

the result is similar to this:

"I will return the seeing-eye dog\"

Notice the trailing slash... a little help please.

The second argument of trim() is the charlist...

yeah I tried that, like this:

trim($showit, "\0x5C");

I get an error that reads:
Warning: Wrong parameter count for trim()
