Very basic Python question (strings, formats and escapes)

Question

I am starting to learn Python with an online guide, and I just did an exercise that required me to write this script:

from sys import argv

script, filename = ar         


        

Answer 1

I am just taking this course my self too for the first time and was wondering the same thing and this is what I figured out and got it to work with no issues. I am still learning this so if this is bad form let me know. Here is what I got to work for me.,

target.write("%s \n%s \n%s" % (line1,line2,line3))
