Hi Alex
Assuming you have a file called "data.txt":
***
f = open('data.txt','r')
lines = f.readlines()
f.close()
for line in lines:
print line
***
Can you not write this:
f=open("data.txt", "r")
for line in f.readlines():
#do stuff to line
f.close()
sure you can
f = open("data.txt", "rb")
while [ 1 ]:
line = f.readlines()
if not line: break
line = somethingelse ...
f.close()
Shall we charitably assume this was untested code? For a non-empty file
it executes the loop body twice, once to read the whole content of the
file and throw it away, the second time to do something else
unspecified. The intention wasn't, therefore, entirely clear, but
newbies should not be using it as any kind of model.
