readlines gives me additional linebreaks python2.6.5

Question

I have problems with the following code:

file = open(\"file.txt\", \"r\")
lines = file.readlines()
print lines[0]
print lines[1]
print lines[2]
file.close()
         


        

Answer 1

Do strip after each line. File has new line as last character. You have to remove it when you read it.

print line[index].strip()
