appending file

[Kuo]

Hi,
I'm trying to read a file (fileA) and append to another file(fileB).
However, I always get "^M" at the end. Does anyone know why ? Here is my
code ?

os.system("../syn/pin_assign.pl customer_netlist.txt")
shutil.copy("../fileB", "fileB")
ucf = open("fileB", "a")
pin = open("fileA", "r")
ucf.write(pin.read())
ucf.close;
pin.close;
sys.exit(0);

Here is what I get.

# FPGA CLOCK^M
NET "SYSCLK_A" loc = N16 | TNM_NET = SYSCLK_A;^M
NET "SYSCLK_AN" loc = M16 | TNM_NET = SYSCLK_A;^M
Note that if I don't do "ucf.write(pin.read())", everything is ok.

Thanks for any help.

Looks like a problem with newline format. Googling for "universal
newline" may be a good start.

I can't help you on your problem, but

ucf.close;
pin.close;

these statements don't do anything. You'll want

ucf.close()
pin.close()

sys.exit(0);

Here is what I get.

# FPGA CLOCK^M
NET "SYSCLK_A" loc = N16 | TNM_NET = SYSCLK_A;^M
NET "SYSCLK_AN" loc = M16 | TNM_NET = SYSCLK_A;^M

I see those bloody ^M's anytime I have to deal with a DOS file (since
it's the carrage return \r character). Is 'pin' a DOS generated file?
If you want to deal with a file which contains them, look for and get
rid of the \r character.
