Stripping new lines from strings?

[Richard Chamberlain]

Hi Chris,

Presuming you don't want any space at the end you can use string.strip
so...

import string
p="I line with a newline.\n"
q=string.rstrip(p)

or you could use string.replace

q=string.replace(p,'\n','')

so that would replace the newline character(s) with nothing
