If I read a string that contains a newline character(s) into a variable, then write that variable to a file, how can I retain those newline characters so that the string remains on one line rather than spans multiple lines?
Example: In a CGI script, I'm reading the address field from an HTML form. Almost always the person will press ENTER so they can enter a second or third line. If I then want to write all the field values of this form to a CSV file, so that each person's entries takes one line, how can I ensure that the address string stays on one line despite the newline characters? (Or is it better to just use separate text fields for each line of the address?) Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
