Alan using your suggestion with the code aove here is the print out:
jay-mutter-iiis-computer:~/documents/ToBePrinted jlm1$ python test.py
'andal\r'
' No.\r'
' Dor-\r'
' 14;\r'
'315 ;\r'
' No.\r'
'utton\r'
'H'
Which appears to me to have 2 lines ending with No. where
the LF should be removed and the next line would be on the same line
Again thanks for the help/suggestions
