I tried your suggestion of using .split() to get around the problem
but I
still cannot move forward.
fileNameCentury = open(r
'/Volumes/DATA/Documents/workspace/GCA/CORPUS_TEXT_LATIN_1/FileNamesYears.txt'
.split('\r'))
You are trying to split the filename not the contents of the file!
Interestingly I get closer to the solution but with a little twist:
['A-01,1374\n', 'A-02,1499\n', 'A-05,1449\n', 'A-06,1374\n',
'A-09,1449\n',
'B-01,1299\n', 'B-02,1299\n', 'B-06,1349\n'...]
That is, now I do get a list but as you can see I get the newline
character
as part of each one of the strings in the list. This is pretty
weird. Is
this a general problem with Macs?
No, this is what you would expect. Reading from a file will give you
the \n
character, you can use strip() (or rstrip()) to remove it.
