[Tutor] Newbie string & File I/O questions.....

[Asrarahmed Kadri]

You can use, '\n' with each value, that u are writing to the file.

eg.   outstring = outstring + '\n'

\n  stands for new line character.

I couldnt get the second question.

Regarding the third question, you can do this:

done = 0
fd = open(filename,'r')
while not done:
    line = fd.readline()
    if line == '':
        done = 1
    else:
       for i in line:
          dict[i] = int(dict[i]) + 1    # dict is a dictionary containing
numbers as the keys and initial value 0 for each key


HTH,
