Python strings question (vertical stack)

[dmitrey]

Hi all,
I have some strings, let it be string1, string2, string3.

So how could String=
"""
string1
string2
string3
"""

be obtained?

Thank you in advance, D.

If you just want the to add newlines between the strings then you can do
the following:

String = '\\n'.join([string1,string2,string3])

-Farshid

Thanks all, I have solved the problem:

a="""
%s
%s
%s
""" % ('asdf', 'asdf2', 'asdf3')

print a

I think you mean '\n'.join([string1,string2,string3])

You actually do want the \ to do its thing in this case.

Yeah, my brain must still be asleep. Thanks for waking it up

James Matthews top-posted:

I would say to split it by the newline!

Split what by which newline? The OP appeared to be wanting some kind of
UNsplit ...

Thanks all, I have solved the problem:

a="""
%s
%s
%s
""" % ('asdf', 'asdf2', 'asdf3')

print a

This is more expensive and not as flexible as the join method. At least
for growing string-lengths and number of arguments.

It's true: my solution did not match the exact specification given by
the OP's code, but 1) I was responding to Farshid Lashkari's slip and 2)
It does what the OP was ultimately asking for--it stacks the results
vertically. My brain was not asleep, I was just not interested in the
other, largely irrelevant part of the OP's question. If he wants a new
line at the beginning and end, I'm sure he can figure out how to do it.
I don't need to jump through those hoops for him.
