[Tutor] Getting rid of the newline in file

[Joseph Quigley]

Hi. I'm using
f = file("foo", 'w')
fileContents = f.readlines()
print fileContents[0] + "Hi!"

and I get:

Foo
Hi!

How can I get rid of that new line? fileContents[1] has Bar.
I wrote the file using Joe (a *nix test editor) and for the new line I
pressed Enter to add Bar.
This is a pain as I don't want the newline.

Thanks,
    Joe
