How can I remove a trailing newline

Question

What is the Python equivalent of Perl s chomp function  which removes the last character of a string if it is a newline

I might use something like this   import os s   s rstrip os linesep    I think the problem with rstrip   n   is that you ll probably want to make sure the line separator is portable   some antiquated systems are rumored to use   r n    The other gotcha is that rstrip will strip out repeated whitespace  Hopefully os linesep will contain the right characters  the above works for me

The canonical way to strip end-of-line  EOL  characters is to use the string rstrip   method removing any trailing  r or  n   Here are examples for Mac  Windows  and Unix EOL characters    gt  gt  gt   Mac EOL r  rstrip   r n    Mac EOL   gt  gt  gt   Windows EOL r n  rstrip   r n    Windows EOL   gt  gt  gt   Unix EOL n  rstrip   r n    Unix EOL    Using   r n  as the parameter to rstrip means that it will strip out any trailing combination of   r  or   n    That s why it works in all three cases above   This nuance matters in rare cases   For example  I once had to process a text file which contained an HL7 message   The HL7 standard requires a trailing   r  as its EOL character   The Windows machine on which I was using this message had appended its own   r n  EOL character   Therefore  the end of each line looked like   r r n    Using rstrip   r n   would have taken off the entire   r r n  which is not what I wanted   In that case  I simply sliced off the last two characters instead   Note that unlike Perl s chomp function  this will strip all specified characters at the end of the string  not just one    gt  gt  gt   Hello n n n  rstrip   n    Hello

There are three types of line endings that we normally encounter   n   r and  r n  A rather simple regular expression in re sub  namely r  r  n     is able to catch them all    And we gotta catch  em all  am I right    import re  re sub r  r  n         the text  1    With the last argument  we limit the number of occurences replaced to one  mimicking chomp to some extent  Example   import re  text 1    hellothere n n n  text 2    hellothere n n r  text 3    hellothere n n r n   a   re sub r  r  n         text 1  1  b   re sub r  r  n         text 2  1  c   re sub r  r  n         text 3  1        where a    b    c is True

Careful with  foo  rstrip os linesep   That will only chomp the newline characters for the platform where your Python is being executed  Imagine you re chimping the lines of a Windows file under Linux  for instance     python Python 2 7 1  r271 86832  Mar 18 2011  09 09 48    GCC 4 5 0 20100604  gcc-4 5-branch revision 160292   on linux2 Type  help    copyright    credits  or  license  for more information   gt  gt  gt  import os  sys  gt  gt  gt  sys platform  linux2   gt  gt  gt   foo r n  rstrip os linesep   foo r   gt  gt  gt    Use  foo  rstrip   r n   instead  as Mike says above

This would replicate exactly perl s chomp  minus behavior on arrays  for   n  line terminator   def chomp x       if x endswith   r n    return x  -2      if x endswith   n   or x endswith   r    return x  -1      return x    Note  it does not modify string  in place   it does not strip extra trailing whitespace  takes  r n in account

Note that rstrip doesn t act exactly like Perl s chomp   because it doesn t modify the string  That is  in Perl    x  a n    chomp  x   results in  x being  a    but in Python   x  a n   x rstrip     will mean that the value of x is still  a n   Even x x rstrip   doesn t always give the same result  as it strips all whitespace from the end of the string  not just one newline at most

s   s rstrip     will remove all newlines at the end of the string s  The assignment is needed because rstrip returns a new string instead of modifying the original string

The canonical way to strip end-of-line  EOL  characters is to use the string rstrip   method removing any trailing  r or  n   Here are examples for Mac  Windows  and Unix EOL characters    gt  gt  gt   Mac EOL r  rstrip   r n    Mac EOL   gt  gt  gt   Windows EOL r n  rstrip   r n    Windows EOL   gt  gt  gt   Unix EOL n  rstrip   r n    Unix EOL    Using   r n  as the parameter to rstrip means that it will strip out any trailing combination of   r  or   n    That s why it works in all three cases above   This nuance matters in rare cases   For example  I once had to process a text file which contained an HL7 message   The HL7 standard requires a trailing   r  as its EOL character   The Windows machine on which I was using this message had appended its own   r n  EOL character   Therefore  the end of each line looked like   r r n    Using rstrip   r n   would have taken off the entire   r r n  which is not what I wanted   In that case  I simply sliced off the last two characters instead   Note that unlike Perl s chomp function  this will strip all specified characters at the end of the string  not just one    gt  gt  gt   Hello n n n  rstrip   n    Hello

If you are concerned about speed  say you have a looong list of strings  and you know the nature of the newline char  string slicing is actually faster than rstrip  A little test to illustrate this   import time  loops   50000000  def method1 loops loops       test string    num n      t0   time time       for num in xrange loops           out sting   test string  -1      t1   time time       print  Method 1      str t1 - t0    def method2 loops loops       test string    num n      t0   time time       for num in xrange loops           out sting   test string rstrip       t1   time time       print  Method 2      str t1 - t0    method1   method2     Output   Method 1  3 92700004578 Method 2  6 73000001907
