python - How do I concatenate lines from a file onto a single line of code? -

i'm new programming , working on problem #269 r/dailyprogrammer. want add ability read files , format them based on indention format given. current code:

import sys  filename=input("what file reformat?") f=open(filename,"r") n_lines= int(f.readline()) indents=(f.readline())  block=0 line in f:     line=line.lstrip('·» \t')     if line.startswith('endif') or line.startswith('next'):         block-=1     print(indents*block+line)     if line.startswith('for') or line.startswith('if'):         block+=1 

gives me this

var  i=1 31  ···· if !(i mod 3)  ···· ···· print "fizz"  ···· endif  ···· if !(i mod 5)  ···· ···· print "buzz"  ···· endif  ···· if (i mod 3) && (i mod 5)  ···· ···· print "fizzbuzz"  ···· endif  next 

,but want print pseudo indentions+line on same line.

your indents string ends newline, this: " \n". want rid of that.

indents=f.readline().strip('\n') 

when reading text file, there newline character @ end of each line until you've reached end of file.

print() add single newline output default. if don't want that, can pass end argument.

print('this line doesn't need newline.\n', end='')
