<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>I have made a small scraper script as an
exercise for myself. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>It scrapes the name and some details of
the first 25 billionaires on the Forbes list.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>It works and write the result in a text
file, with the columns separated by “#”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>It takes the name from the link (t =
i.string) – open the link and scrape details from the next
page.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>But I can’t find a way to write the name
(the variable t) one and only one time in the beginning of the
line.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>As t is written now I get it in the
beginning of the line but I also get a newline. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Can I avoid that in a simple
way?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
