If you share your code, we may be able to help. Alternatively, here's
a few differences to look at:

1) Filenames - if you have a literal for your file name,
"/home/foobar/file" will work, but "c:\path\newfile.txt" won't -
backslash is a special character. Make it a raw string:
r"c:\path\newfile.txt" - that will work.

2) End of line characters. If you divide the contents of the file on
the "\n" character, and then try to work with the end of each line,
you may find that the string has a "\r" character at the end.

3) What Irmen de Jong said. :)
