How are you generating this list? You should be able to create it without the \n. That would be better than stripping them out. > I was using 'print mylist.rstrip()' to strip off the '\n' > > but kept getting an error of : > > AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'rstrip' > > My memory must be hazy but I thought I had it working several months ago. > > Any idea or suggestion? Use a list comprehension or map(): In [1]: l = ['102\n', '231\n', '463\n', '487\n', '555\n', '961\n'] In [2]: [ i.rstrip() for i in l ] Out[2]: ['102', '231', '463', '487', '555', '961'] In [3]: map(str.rstrip, l) Out[3]: ['102', '231', '463', '487', '555', '961'] Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
