I am looking for a way to strip the blank line and the empty newline at
the end of the text file. I can get the blank lines removed from the
file but it always leaves the end line (which is blank) as a newline. My
code is here and it works but leaves the newline at the end of the file.
How do I get rid of it?
import re
f = open("oldfile.txt")
w = open("newfile.txt", "wt")
for line in f.readlines():
line = re.sub(r'^\s+$', '', line)
w.write(line)
w.close()
I have tried everything I know and still falling short. Any help?
