[Tutor] how to join two text files ?

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

Hello,

If the files are not too big, you could do something like:
with open("/home/me/Desktop/test.csv", "wb") as w:
    writer = csv.writer(w)
    for f in glob.glob("/home/me/Desktop/files/*.txt"):
        rows = open(f, "rb").readlines()
        writer.writerows(rows)

 Cheers!!
Albert-Jan

Subject: [Tutor] how to join two text files ?

Hello,

I have many text files, where data is delimited by space.
Each file contain three colums: coordinate x, coordinate y and value for this 
location.

    I would like to join this data to get one big file which will contain 
columns:
coordinate x, coordinate y, value1,value2,..., value_n and save it to another 
text file.

I wrote script, but there's some stupid error (like "\n" character although
I have added .rstrip() command).

Coul You tell me what is most convenient way to join this data
(maybe by using csv module?)?

=========
Best regards,
Mateusz
