hi wish to ask a qns on strip i wish to strip all spaces in front of a line (in text file)
f = open("textfile","rU") while (1): line = f.readline().strip() if line == '': break print line f.close() in "textfile", i added some spaces in and then ran the code, it prints out the lines without the spaces in front. I double checked "textfile" and it does contains some lines with spaces in front. Is it true that "readline().strip()" perform the removing of spaces in front of a line as well? Is it documented anywhere? I am using Windows environment. thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
