supress /n at the end of the txt file

Question

I have the following code:

with open(path, 'r') as f:
    data = f.readlines()
    print("x "+ data[1] + "y")

data[1] is the string from txt file. The result that I get:

>>> x 10
>>> y

but I would like "y" to be in the same line with "x 10". Is it possible to do in Python?

Thank you in advance!

Please look at indexing `data[1][:-1]` where last endline character can be removed easily — Exploore X, Mar 05 '21 at 22:21

It sounds like you would like to strip '\n' from data[1].

You can use replace either

>>>test = "the\n line"

>>>print(test)
the
 line

>>>print(test.replace("\n",""))
the line

And note that data[1] is the string from the txt file is not accurate. data[1] is the second line from the file.

    data = [line.rstrip() for line in f.readlines()]
