Hi All, I dont understand why the following code never finds "tree". I could not find the answer in the Python tutorials. Here is the code, test43.in, and runtime:
#!/usr/bin/python fname = open("test43.in") var = 'tree' for item in fname: print "item: ", item, if item == var: print "found tree: ", item, [EMAIL PROTECTED] work]$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] work]$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] work]$ cat test43.in car tree house pool dog cat wax candy bar [EMAIL PROTECTED] work]$ python test43.py item: car item: tree item: house item: pool item: dog item: cat item: wax item: candy bar Thanks, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
