I am trying to print the content of a file in a web page. I want to print each line from the file on a separate line, but instead the line breaks are missing. How do I print the file and preserve newlines?
@app.route('/users')
def print_users():
v = open("users.txt","r").read().strip()
# also tried:
# v = open("users.txt","r").read().strip().split('\n')
return render_template('web.html', v=v)
{{ v|safe}}
You can use :
v = open("users.txt","r").readlines()
v = [line.strip() for line in v]
and then in your html something like (but feel free to play around with it):
<form action="/print_users" method="post" >
<div class="form-inline">
{% for line in v %}
<div>{{ line|safe}}</div>
{% endfor %}
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="submit" >
</div>
</form>
