无法遍历文件中的单词并将字符串附加到每一行

Question

I am reading in a list of words from a file. I want to append a string to each word, then print out the word with the appended string. However, my current code appends the string on a new line.

with open("wordDict.txt") as wordFile:
    for line in wordFile:
        line = line + 'a'
        print(line)

An example output I get is this:

hello
a

Output I want to get:

helloa

Any help appreciated

Answer 1

with open("wordDict.txt") as wordFile:
    for line in wordFile:
        line = line.strip() + 'a'
        print(line)

You need to get rid of the line break at the end of the line. .strip() gets rid of whitespace at either end of the line.

Answer 2

with open("wordDict.txt") as wordFile:
    for line in wordFile:
        line = line.rstrip() + 'a'
        print(line)

should do the trick. rstrip removes trailing whitespace, including newlines.
