I have a html document saved as a text file that I'm trying to load.
Its just the header section so my object is to read all the lines till
I hit the <title> tag, break, then read the rest. I have kinda
achieved what I wanted, but I'm getting a new line where I stopped.
It will become clear once you see the code. So my question is how do
I fix it, or is their an easier way?
Python code:
self.headertxt = open("pages/header.html","r")
*** Irrelevant code omitted ***
headerp1 = ""
for i in range(5):
headerp1 += self.headertxt.readline()
headerp2 = self.headertxt.readline(7)
headerp3 = self.headertxt.readline()
headerp4 = self.headertxt.read()
return headerp1 + headerp2 + headerp3 + pagetitle + headerp4
Here is the textfile im reading:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name="Generator" content="EditPlus" />
<meta name="Author" content="Adam W." />
<meta name="Description" content="Blah Blah Blah" />
</head>"""
and here is the output:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>
this is a new title
</title>
<meta name="Generator" content="EditPlus" />
<meta name="Author" content="Adam W." />
<meta name="Description" content="Blah Blah Blah" />
</head>"""
As you can see what I was trying to acheive was <title>the title</
title> all on the same line. Help!
