readlines gives me additional linebreaks python2.6.5

Question

I have problems with the following code:

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


        

Answer 1

readlines() will return an array of lines. Every line ends up with a line break.

If you want to print all lines in a block, simply do this:

with open("file.txt", "r") as file:
    lines = file.readlines()
    print "".join(lines)

Use with, you can ever save a file.close()
