Extra line in output when printing

Question

I am trying to get an output that looks like this:

'a',
'abandon',
'ability',
'able',

These lines should look like a list, I'm new and didn't know what to do XD

what I am getting

'a
','abandon
','ability
','able

here is my code:

`f = open("he.txt", "r")
for i in range(0,3000):
    print(f.readline(),"',", sep="", end='')
close()`

also, is there any way I can write this to a file? I have been looking for a way and couldn't find one, it interferes with reading the file.

Answer 1

What is the content of f(Can you paste it?)? Also, it's best practice using context manager when reading from files, right now you are not checking for failure when opening the file. Use with statement, eg - with open("he.txt", "r") as in_file: ... and the file will be closed when you leave the context without manually taking care of it.

Answer 2

A newline is included at the end of every line in a file. To get around this, you can use rstrip to strip a character at the end of a string. For example:

f = open("he.txt", "r")
for i in range(0,3000):
    line = f.readline()
    line = line.rstrip("\n") # strip trailing newline
    print(line, "',")
close()

Answer 3

You can change your code like this:

f = open("he.txt", "r") for i in range(0,3000): print(f.readline().rstrip(),"',", sep="", end='') close()

.rstrip() removes the whitespace at the end of the word
