how to delete "\n"

Thomas,

> split() also splits at other whitespace.

Doh! Corrected version follows:

print ''.join( open( 'Direct_Irr.txt' ).read().splitlines() )
 
Broken out:
 
- open(): open file 
- read(): read its entire contents as one string
- splitlines(): split the contents into a list of lines
  (splits lines at \n; does not include \n in split values)
- ''.join(): join list of lines with an empty char
