String concatenation produces incorrect output in Python?
- by Brian
I have this code:
filenames=["file1","FILE2","file3","fiLe4"]
def alignfilenames():
#build a string that can be used to add labels to the R variables.
#format goal: suffixes=c(".fileA",".fileB")
filestring='suffixes=c(".'
for filename in filenames:
filestring=filestring+str(filename)+'",".'
print filestring[:-3]
#now delete the extra characters
filestring=filestring[-1:-4]
filestring=filestring+')'
print "New String"
print str(filestring)
alignfilenames()
I'm trying to get the string variable to look like this format: suffixes=c(".fileA",".fileB".....) but adding on the final parenthesis is not working. When I run this code as is, I get:
suffixes=c(".file1",".FILE2",".file3",".fiLe4"
New String
)
Any idea what's going on or how to fix it?
