Question

#!/usr/bin/python

for line in open("blah.txt"):
if "$" in line:
    print (","line",")

Why doesn’t this work? How can i get a comma at the beginning and end of the line?

Answer 1

Try this…

#!/usr/bin/python

f = open("blah.txt");       # open file
for line in f:              # iterate over lines in file
  line = line.strip()       # strip leading and trailing white space
  print ("," + line + ",")  # print line between commas
f.close() # close file      # close file when done
