I have a file with the following contents: >from header1 abcdefghijkl mnopqrs tuvwxyz * >from header2 poiuytrewq lkjhgfdsa mnbvcxz *
My string processing code goes as follows: file1=open('/myfolder/testfile.txt') scan = file1.readlines() string1 = ' ' for line in scan: if line.startswith('>from'): continue if line.startswith('*'): continue string1.join(line.rstrip('\n')) This code produces the following output: 'abcdefghijkl' 'mnopqrs' 'tuvwxyz' 'poiuytrewq' 'lkjhgfdsa' 'mnbvcxz' I would like to know if there is a way to get the following output instead: 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' 'poiuytrewqlkjhgfdsamnbvcxz' I'm basically trying to concatenate the strings in order to produce 2 separate lines
