[Tutor] Merging Text Files

[Ara Kooser]

Hey all,

  It's mostly solved. The program prints out to the screen just fine except
for the new line return. Here is what I ended up using:

########
#Merges two files into one using dictionaries
########

xml = open("final.txt",'r')
gen = open("final_gen.txt",'r')

PIDS = {}
for proteinVals in gen:
    ID = proteinVals.split(',')[0]
    PIDS[ID] = proteinVals
print PIDS

for line in xml:
    ID = line.split(',')[1]
    IDs = ID.strip()
    rslt = "%s,%s"% (line,PIDS[IDs])
    print rslt

When I write this to a file what's the best way to take out the new line?
Thanks again for everyone's help and pseudocode. It's been about 4 years
since my last programming project!
