On Just One line

[Fumi]

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to condense the following into one line as target.write()

target.write (line1)
target.write ("\n")

target.write (line2)
target.write ("\n")

target.write (line3)
target.write ("\n")

Kind Regards

Perhaps something like this:

lines = (line1, line2, line3)

target.write("{lines[0]}{newline}{lines[1]}{newline}{lines[2]}{newline}".format(lines=lines, newline="\n"))

Though I am certain there are more elegant and optimal solutions :)

A few attempts (not tested)...

Potentially large memory usage

target.write('\n'.join([line1, line2, line3]))

One line, after import

from itertools import chain, repeat
target.writelines(chain(*zip([line1, line2, line3], repeat('\n'))))

Well I found a simple way eventually.

target.write(line1);target.write("\n");target.write(line2);target.write("\n");target.write(line3);target.write("\n")

Calling write 6 times
A good solution has been posted bye @micseydel.
Working code both do the same:

lst = ['line 1', 'line 2', 'line 3']

# Yes
with open('out_1.txt', 'w') as f_out:
    f_out.write('\n'.join(lst))

# No
with open('out_2.txt', 'w') as target:
    target.write(lst[0]);target.write("\n");target.write(lst[1]);target.write("\n");target.write(lst[2]);target.write("\n")
