I’m still new to learning python and was just wondering how to store each line of a text file into a list without the \n appearing.
I’ve tried:
file = open("test_file.txt", "r")
table = [line.split(') for line in file.readlines()]
Outputs:
[['Beans', ' 1222', ' 422', ' 6712\n'], ['Eggs', ' 4423', ' 122', ' 2231\n'], ['Tomato', ' 2232', ' 224', ' 2321']]
Desired output:
[['Beans', '1222', '422', '6712], ['Eggs', '4223', '122', '2231'], ['Tomato', '2232', '224', '2321']]
I’ve tried temp = file.read().splitlines() but it ends up storing it all into one list['Beans, 1222, 422, 6712', 'Eggs, 4423, 122, 2231', 'Tomato, 2232, 224, 2321'] when I still want each line to be a list itself.
Any help greatly appreciated!!
>Solution :
In my case, I always use following line to get rid of \n every time I read a file:
file = [line.strip("\n") for line in file.readlines()]
In your case, just use:
file = open("test_file.txt", "r")
table = [line.strip("\n").split(') for line in file.readlines()]
