Question

I am writing strings to a text document using python 2.7

I am not adding then "\n" newline character until the very end of each line, yet when I open up the text document, newlines are being created on their own.
What am I doing wrong?

My code looks like this:

w.write(ID + "    " + Name + "    " + x + "     " + y + " " + "\n")
w.write(ID2 + "    " + Name2 + "    " + x2 + "     " + y2 + " " + "\n")

My text document looks like this:

1—-Polyline1—-0.567

—-0.837

2—-Polyline2—-0.928

—-0.253

^^^Those are spaces, not dashes

Answer 1

Because you forgot to strip the newlines from x and x2 after reading them.

Also, ␣ and ␢.
