A very short and very simple Python script that removes new lines and extra spaces from text files. I created it to do a simple minify of large JavaScript files that browser-based tools were too slow to do.

SimpleMinify.py

file = open("minify1.txt", "w")
with open('test.txt') as f:
   for line in f:
       newTxt = line.rstrip('\r\n').replace("  ","")
       file.write(newTxt)
       if 'str' in line:
          break

file.close()
