i'm trying to write a program to write a program to tailor putty session then launch in plink
i was using python and had

code:

---

for line in open(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])+'/sessions/base', 'rU'):
    if "ProxyPassword" in line:
        line = line.replace("ProxyPassword\\", "ProxyPassword\\" + listy[3] + chr(92)
       
                           
    if "ProxyUsername" in line:
        line = line.replace("ProxyUsername\\",  "ProxyUsername\\" + listy[2] + chr(92)

---

Don't you think you're missing right parentheses in line.replace()?

yep i just noticed that
but the main problem seems to be that python uses different line breaks to note pad and i want my file to look like this attached

but instead it looks like this:

code:

You probably need \n\l rather then just \n

so if i go for example

code:

---

x = x.replace("\\n", "\\n\\l")

---

don't use \\n, use \n

ok well for example
x = "hello\neveryone"
print x

produces:
hello
eveyone

however
x = x.replace("\n", "\n\l")
print x produces:
hello
\leveryone

also, it's \l\n

also, i'm pretty sure putty just needs \n
