python - readlines gives me additional linebreaks python2.6.5 -

i have problems following code:

file = open("file.txt", "r") lines = file.readlines() print lines[0] print lines[1] print lines[2] file.close()

this code gives me linebreaks between lines. output this:

line0  line1  line2

how can solved?

print adds newline. strip newline line:

print lines[0].rstrip('\n') print lines[1].rstrip('\n') print lines[2].rstrip('\n')

if reading whole file list anyway, alternative use str.splitlines():

lines = file.read().splitlines()

which default removes newlines lines @ same time.

And
