-----------------------------------
#!/c/python/python.exe

import string
import sys

if sys.platform=="win32":
    sps='\r\n'
else:
    sps='\n'

if __name__=="__main__":
    if len(sys.argv)>1:
        fn=sys.argv[1]
    else:
        fn="tsplit.txt"
    s=open(fn,"rb").read().split(sps)
    print s
