Stripping of spaces in SQL Plus

Hi.

[Quoted] [Quoted] I'm wondering if anyone know how to strip trailing whitespaces from a SELECT statement.

Eg.
[Quoted] [Quoted] SELECT RTRIM(owner || ' - ' || table_name) FROM all_tables;

results in

RTRIM(OWNER||'-'||TABLE_NAME)

SYS - DUAL
SYS - SYSTEM_PRIVILEGE_MAP
SYS - TABLE_PRIVILEGE_MAP
SYS - STMT_AUDIT_OPTION_MAP
SYS - AUDIT_ACTIONS

The problem is that these lines are padded with spaces when spooled to a file. I want them to be variable length rows with no trailing spaces. Anybody know how this can be done in Server Manager or SQLPlus? All help would be appreciated.
