Python 2.7 - find and replace from text file, using dictionary, to new text file

Question

I am newbie to programming, and have been studying python in my spare time for the past few months. I decided I was going to try and create a little script that converts Ame

Answer 1

The print statement adds a newline of its own, but your lines already have their own newlines. You can either strip the newline from your new_line, or use the lower-level

output.write(new_line)

instead (which writes exactly what you pass to it).

For your second question, I think we need an actual example. replace() should indeed replace all occurrences.

>>> "abc abc abcd ab".replace("abc", "def")
'def def defd ab'

I'm not sure what your third question is asking. If you want to replace the output file, do

output = open('output_test_file.txt', 'w')

'w' means you're opening the file for writing.
