Looping URLs breaks them - PythonStudent - Apr-21-2018
This happens only when looping.
I have been looking for 3 days now, and I did not get anywhere with this.
I have a list of words that need to be placed in a URL, then print the URL on the screen.
This is what I did:
fh = open('words.txt')
for line in fh:
>>> URLa = "https://www.website.com/sub-path/XXXXX"
>>> URLb = "/some-time"
>>> Link = URLa.replace("XXXXX", line)
>>> print(Link + URLb)
fh.close()
The results of the code above is as this:
https://www.website.com/sub-path/WORD1
/some-time
It splits the URL in 2 lines, when obviously it needs to be 1 single line like this:
https://www.website.com/sub-path/WORD1/some-time
Anybody has an answer for me please?
Thanks a lot

Using string formatting and .strip() it should work fine.
Also you have mixed in
>>>,in a code run outside of interactive shell there is no >>>.with open('words.txt') as f:
url_a = "https://www.website.com/sub-path/XXXXX"
url_b = "/some-time"
for line in f:
link = url_a.replace("XXXXX", line)
print(f'{link.strip()}{url_b}')
# Before 3.6 .foramt()
#print('{}{}'.format(link.strip(),url_b))Output:https://www.website.com/sub-path/word1/some-time
https://www.website.com/sub-path/word2/some-time
