You haven't defined what you mean by "not working" for any test values
to try, but I notice that the commented code has "files\n" whereas the
uncommented code has "file\n".
Very good point, it should what caused the issue
By the way, it seems it's ok to check \n as end of line, it will work on
windows linux and mac platforms even if windows use \r\n
By default, when the 'open' function opens a file in text mode, it uses
"universal newlines mode", so the rest of the program doesn't have to
worry about the differences in line endings. It's explained in the
documentation about the 'open' function.
