hello, In the previous language I used, when reading a line by readline, the EOL character was removed.
Now I'm reading a text-file with CR+LF at the end of each line, Datafile = open(filename,'r') line = Datafile.readline() now this gives an extra empty line print line and what I expect that should be correct, remove CR+LF, gives me one character too much removed print line[,-2] while this gives what I need ??? print line[,-1] Is it correct that the 2 characters CR+LF are converted to 1 character ? Is there a more automatic way to remove the EOL from the string ? thanks, Stef Mientki -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
