python read file and split lines code example

Example 1: python reading lines from a text file

with open(filename) as f:
    content = f.readlines()
# you may also want to remove whitespace characters like `\n` at the end of each line
content = [x.strip() for x in content]

Example 2: python split lines

>>> text = """Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Maxime mollitia,
molestiae quas vel sint commodi repudiandae consequuntur voluptatum laborum
numquam blanditiis harum quisquam eius sed odit fugiat iusto fuga praesentium
optio, eaque rerum! Provident similique accusantium nemo autem."""

# the str.splitlines() method is basically just str.split("\n").
>>> text.splitlines()
[
	'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Maxime mollitia,',
	'molestiae quas vel sint commodi repudiandae consequuntur voluptatum laborum',
	'numquam blanditiis harum quisquam eius sed odit fugiat iusto fuga praesentium',
	'optio, eaque rerum! Provident similique accusantium nemo autem.'
