How to add break lines for output, based on input?

Question

How can I write code which will insert insert break lines in the output, where there was one in the input?

Code

data1=[]
with open("FileInput1.txt") as file:
    for line in file:
        data1.append([float(f) for f in line.strip().split()])


data2=[]
with open("FileInput2.csv") as File2:
    for line in File2:
        data2.append([f for f in line.strip().split()])

Sample Input:

  1. File Input # 1

    1223 32  (userID - int = 1223, work hours = 32)
2004 12.2  
8955 80

    a. Current Output

    1223 32 2004 12.2 8955 80

  2. FileInput2:

    UserName  3423 23.6  
Name      6743 45.9

    a. Current Output

    UserName 3423 23.6 Name 6743 45.9

Preclude

Based on the cryptic messages of the God's (please don't be offended) I have deciphered Amina's question. This was the conversation that led to it all:

So... this is a programming exercise in which the output is exactly
the same as the input?

Answer

To keep the newlines in your output, you need to simply print the exact file out. If I hadn't had the above conversation, I would have given a more complex answer. Here is the answer, given step-by-step.

"""
Task: Make a program which returns the exact same output as the input
Ideas:
print the output!!
"""

^This helps me to understand the quesiton

first_input = "Input_One.txt"
second_input = "Input_Two.txt"



Input_One = open(first_input, "r")
Input_Two = open (first_input, "r")


Output_One = open("Output_One.txt", "w")
Output_Two = open ("Output_Two.txt", "w")

^I create and open my two files.

x = Input_One.read()
y = Input_Two.read()

^I read the info, assigning it the the variables x and y

print "OUTPUT 1:\n", x
print "\n"
print "OUTPUT 2:\n", y

^I show the output to the user

#Save "output"

Output_One.write(x)
Output_Two.write(y)

print"\nCOMPLETE!"

^I save the output and give a message.

What you are doing is just merging several lines in your file into a single line.

def printer(filename, data):
  with open(filename, "w") as f:
    f.write(data.replace("\n", "  "))


for filename in ["FileInput1.txt", "FileInput2.csv"]:
  with open(filename) as f:
    printer("new" + filename, f.read())
