How do I remove the string "n" (not the newline character) from the end of only lines that begin with the string "///"? Thanks.
Example Input:
Some textn
/// Some commentn
Desired Output:
Some textn
/// Some comment
I've tried to use
sed -i 's/\n*$//' $1
But, it removes all of the trailing "n" strings.

Add a regex address specifier at the front - since your pattern has forward slashes, it's clearer if you use a different expression separator:
sed -i '%^///% s/\n$//' Input
Testing:
$ sed '%^///% s/\n$//' Input
Some textn
/// Some comment
If you prefer "leaning toothpicks"
sed -i '/^//// s/\n$//' Input
