Variable from notepad problem - samuelbachorik - Apr-10-2020
Hello dear users, let me explain you my problem with variable.
b = open("test.txt", "r").readline()
a = input("Write")
if a == b:
print("good")
I have really simple program like this. In my "test.txt" i have only two lines and in first is "a" and in second "b"
If i put in my input "a" this if statement not work and not print "good". But when only try to print out print(b) it prints "a" so i do not understand why it is not working.
My variable b is equal to "a" but my if statement says it is not equal.
I also noticed when i have only one line in my notepad then it is working. So please guys can you help me with this ? Why it is not working when i have two lines in notepad.
Thank you a lot !

Please format your code according to the rules. Please read BBcode to learn how to do this.
I think your problem is in extra characters.
readline() will also read the newline at the end of a line. You should strip() what you get from readline(). Perhaps this works:b = open("test.txt", "r").readline().strip()
