I am relatively new to python and I am making a small game that involves importing each line of the text from a .txt file, so that it can be printed to the user. To do this, I'm using linecache.getline() to get the specific line of the file that I want while not having the whole file stored as a list. However, if I use "\n" to create a new line, then linecache.getline() automatically inserts another backslash to "cancel" it.
For example, if in the text file I write
\nHello,
linecache.getline() will store it in the variable as
\\nHello
which prints as
\nHello.
Is there any way to stop this? I can post my specific code if required.
Any help with file manipulation will be appreciated since I am very new to it and thank you for looking at my question.
