readin .csv file - character at the end of a line

[Ryue]

I've a question, I'm using renpy.file to read a .csv file (made under windows), but at the end I see a strange character.
When I use fileData.split("\n") it functions normally, but the strange character is still printed when I print the lines.
So my question is: What is this character and how to get rid of it? (as I need to get rid of it to be able to parse the files correctly).

I'm using the following code:

Code: Select all

    fileList=renpy.list_files()
        msg=""
        for fileAndPath in fileList:
            if (fileAndPath[:9]=="data/map/"):
                fileData=renpy.file(fileAndPath).read().decode('utf-8')
                msg+=fileData
        narrator(msg)

It produces the following output:

It's the newline character, \r. You can call .rstrip("\r") on each line to remove it.
