(redirected from Main.ReadAFileIntoAListStrippingNewlines)

<< Prev: Ipython

Using list comprehension:

  1. with open("filespec") as f:
  2.     lines = [x.strip for x in f.readlines()]
raw code

Contrast with the perl idiom:

  1. open (FH, "<filespec");
  2. @lines = <FH>;
  3. chomp(@lines);
raw code

And the same in Ruby:

lines = IO.readlines("filespec").map{|l| l.chomp}
raw code
