I have a file with several lines. I need to prepend each line with \x02 and append each line with \x03 for reading into Splunk. I can get the \x02 at the beginning of each line, no problem, but can't get the \x03 to go on the end of the line. Instead it goes to the beginning of the next line.I have tried: #!/usr/bin/env python with open('input/test.xml', 'r') as f1: with open('mod1.xml', 'a') as f2: for line in f1: s = ('\x02' + line + '\x03') f2.write(s) as well as the same script but using .join, to no avail. What am I missing? regards, Richard
Your line has EOL on the end. Getting rid of the unneeded brackets try:- s = '\x02' + line[:-1] + '\x03\n' -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
