Delimiter in Unload To function

Hi,

Anyone know how to get rid of the last delimiter in the output file when we use the UNLOAD TO statement?

i.e. The statement is UNLOAD TO 'output' DELIMITER '|'
SELECT shoes, bottoms, tops FROM closet

The results will be: running shoes|jeans|tutleneck| <- don't want this
high heals|skirt|shirt|

Please help, thanks alot!!!
