string getting overwritten after concatenating with another string

Question

I am using subprocess to get a build path on a server by using a findbuild.exe..Some exe that finds builds on server using a build string. I store the output from findbuild.exe in "out" variable ..shown below

process = subprocess.Popen(findBuild_cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr = subprocess.PIPE)
out,err  = process.communicate()

I parse it to get the build location and discard the rest of it using

sblTemp = str((out.partition("Location:       ")[2]).partition("\n")[0])
sblTemp is a network path like \\water\build\12345\123.4\

I want to add offset to that like \boot\builds\bin\abc.mbn

So, the final path I want is

\\water\build\12345\123.4\boot\builds\bin\abc.mbn

I used os.path.join but found out that the string was getting over written by the later offset. When I am trying to concat the above two, I am seeing that if I do this temp = r"XYZ"+ sbl, it works fine but when I try to do it this way temp = sblTemp + r"XYZ" it overwrites the first string

Could you help me figure out what is going wrong here?

Answer 1

I figured out what was going wrong. The findBuild.exe was adding a carriage return at the end of the string and that was messing up everything. When I added .strip, it works fine :)
