No, it doesn't. Well, maybe it doesn't, depending on how your
applications treats newlines. Normally, a newline termin

't' is a Windows-specific extension to standard C's file modes.
Python pas
Actually Im doing a process with PHP, Unicode, Ansi. I am trying to
format these text files to be acceptable to PHP. The first process is
to strip the unicode and convert to ansi. But there are blank lines in
the file and at the end of the file. I was just having trouble with the
lines at the end.
Thank you guys for all your help. Was able to nail it down.
uh I dunno where i saw the 'wt' at. somewhere online though.
I have to do it in 2 stages though and run through a coula files but it
works.
import re
f = open("oldfile.txt")
w = open("newfile.txt", "w")
for line in f:
if line.strip():
Do you mean somthing like this?
>>> f = open("file.txt")
>>> w = open('outfile.txt', 'w')
>>> for line in f.split('\n'):
...w.write(line)
...
>>> w.close()
>>> '\n' in open('/home/wandleg/outfile.txt').read()
False

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 g
