How to save text to html file unchanged (python3)

Question

how to save/copy text from text file to html file, without or with formatting to leave the text unchanged.

Example:

> ❯ cat TEST.txt
TEST TEST 1 ONE TEST
234 TEST AGAIN TEST
1234 : : : TEST TEST%

Code:

with open('TEST.txt', 'r') as firstfile, open('RESULT.txt', 'a') as secondfile:
# read content from first file
for line in firstfile:
    # append content to second file
    secondfile.write(line)

Result:

    ❯ cat RESULT.txt
TEST TEST 1 ONE TEST
234 TEST AGAIN TEST
1234 : : : TEST TEST%    

Now it worked well but when I try to save second file as HTML it has different result where all strings copied in one.

Code:

with open('TEST.txt', 'r') as firstfile, open('RESULT.html', 'a') as secondfile:
# read content from first file
for line in firstfile:
    # append content to second file
    secondfile.write(line)

Result:

TEST TEST 1 ONE TEST 234 TEST AGAIN TEST 1234 : : : TEST TEST

But I need to copy strings unchanged from txt file to html file.

thank you.

Answer 1

Use html to create new line

with open('TEST.txt', 'r') as firstfile, open('RESULT.html', 'a') as secondfile:
# read content from first file
for line in firstfile:
    # append content to second file
    secondfile.write(line + '<br/>')

Answer 2

Consider adding newlines.

with open('TEST.txt', 'r') as firstfile, open('RESULT.html', 'a') as secondfile:
# read content from first file
for line in firstfile:
    # append content to second file
    secondfile.write("\n" + line)
