Python New Line (byte To String)

Code: word='hello\nhai' fout=open('sample.txt','w'); fout.write(word); Output: hello hai But this: word=b'hello\nhai' str_word=str(word) # stripping ' '(quote

Solution 1:

I am working on sending and receiving strings over a port. As only bytes can be sent and received I have the above problem.

.encode() strings to create bytes. .decode() bytes to get strings. The default encoding is UTF-8, which can handle all characters in a string. If you have bytes, write them in binary mode:

word = b"hello\nhai"# byteswithopen("sample.txt","wb") as fout:  # (w)rite (b)ytes
    fout.write(word);

If writing to a port that only takes bytes (you didn't mention the port function, so only an example):

port.write(b'hello')

or:

port.write('hello'.encode())

Reading:

string_result = port.read().decode()
