Whether I attempt to just strip the string or attempt to
if line.endswith('No.\r'):
line = line.rstrip()
It doesn't work.
Can you try printing the string repr just before the test.
Or even the last 6 characters:
print repr(line[-6
-type=original

inp = open('test.txt','r')
s = inp.readlines()
for line in s:
if line.endswith('No.'):
line = line.rstrip()

BTW,
You do know that you can shorten that considerably?
With:
for line in open('test.txt
=original

for line in s:
jay = patno.findall(line)
jay2 = .join(jay[0])
print jay2
and it prints fine up until line 111 which is a line that had
previously returned [ ] since a number didn't exist on that line and
then exits
I have the following that I am using to extract numbers' from a file
prompt1 = raw_input('What is the file from which you would like a
list of patent numbers? ')
p1 = open(prompt1,'rU')
s = p1.readlines()
prompt2 = raw_input('What is the name of the file to which you would
like to save
Ok after a minute of thought I did solve my second question by simply
changing my RE to
(r'(\d{1}[\s,.]+\d{3}[\s,.]+\d{3})')
but still haven't gotten he first one.

I want to join the current line with next line.
Are lists immutable or can they be changed?
Thanks again

1.) when i do readlines and create a list and then print the list it

Well,
regarding your first question:
print string automatically breaks a line at the end
.','\n') in an attempt to put a CR in but
it just put the characters\n in the string.
ideas?
Thanks again

Actually the number of lines this returns is the same number of lines
given when i put it in a text editor (TextWrangler).

Thanks again for the assistance.
I have corrected the splitlines error and it works ( well that part
of anyway) correctly now.
