[Tutor] printing files

[ALAN GAULD]

Use '\n'.join(handle[1:])

It will create a string from your list with newline as separator.

yes you are right,
When i use the following

print>>out, handle[1:]

In the out file, it saves the lines as a list rather than as a string. How to avoid this.

for files in flist:
 handle=open(flist).readlines()
 print>>out, handle  


 print>>out, handle[1:]

Should do it? You might need to handle line endings though...
