'n' and 'None' appearing at end of console outputted List. How to remove them?
I'm new to files in Python and I'm having trouble removing the 'n' and the word None in my output console. Here's my code:
def function(inputFile, wordFile):
input = open(inputFile, 'r')
words = open(wordFile, 'r')
wordList =
for line in words:
wordList.append(line.split(','))
print(wordList)
words.close()
##call function
result = function("file1.txt","file2.txt")
print(result)
print()
my file2.txt/wordFile/words looks like this:
hello,world
123,456
This is the output I get:
['hello', 'worldn']
['123', '456n']
None
I know there's a lot going on but how do I remove the 'n' and None?

return did remove the 'None' part, thank you! But doesn't str.strip not work on Lists?

You must apply it to the string before it is splitted.

A good way to write your code would be:with open(wordFile) as words: return [line.rstrip().split(',') for line in words]. Thus, the whole function will be a one-liner.

To get rid of whitespace characters you can use strip:
wordList.append(line.strip().split(','))
Also your function does not not return anything, so result = function("file1.txt","file2.txt") will assign nothing to result also called None in python. To have it return something, use return at the end of the function:
return wordlist
It is also possible to return mulitple variables:
return var1, var2, ...
You can get them by
a, b, ... = function(..)

Just needed something else answered. The problem I just realized with this solution is that once I 'return wordlist', I can't return anything else for the remainder of the 'function'. Is there any way we can make this work without using return or by using two functions?
