How do i read line from an input file, without the /n ?
the readline function returns also the /n character at the end. i need
to read a line without the training /n
is this possible?

thanks, Dorit

so strip if off!

line = line[:-1] # remove last char

f.readline().rstrip('\n') should do it. If you are sure that lines
always end in '\n', then you could even use f.readline()[:-1]
