[Tutor] deleting CR within files

[David Talaga]

Ok, so now I am extremely close!
It is now deleting al of the character returns instead of leaving just one.
I tried to put an argument in there but as it is defined there can only be a
string in write.  I am not to sure where to go next.  I am playing around
with the other string manipulation options but don't know where to add that
I need to keep 1 <cr>

Are you sure thats not the origoinal data?

Try using the strip function since it will only strip off if there
is anything to strip so should work in all cases.

ie.   out_file.write(i.strip())
