Demo

line = "This is a test!\n" 
print( line.rstrip() )
print( line.upper() )
print( line.isalpha() )
print( line.endswith('Ni!\n') )
print( line.startswith('The') )

line = "This is a Ni!\n" 

print( line )#  w  w w  .j a v a2  s . c o  m
print( line.find('Ni') != -1 )       # Search via method call or expression 
print( 'Ni' in line )

sub = 'Ni!\n' 
print( line.endswith(sub) )          # End test via method call or slice 
print( line[-len(sub):] == sub )
