Hey,
Let me explain what my program is supposed to do...
I am using a macro program in conjunction with a python script I am writing.
The macro inputs data into a database we use at my job, blah blah blah.
The script asks how many numbers (devices) you need to enter. Next, it asks you
to input the device numbers. When you input them, it creates a list with all of
the devices. I then tell it to go into the script of the Macro (firstdev.ahk)
that will run on the back-end, and replace the word "device" with the first
device in the list. It then should execute the Macro, change the device number
back to the word "Device" for future use, and then delete the first number from
the list. It will repeat as long as there are numbers in the list.
The error I receive is "TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str
implicitly" when it tries to put the device into the macro script. It worked
fine when I just had it input one device into the script without the use of
lists, but for whatever reason, using a list does not play nice with replacing
the words "Device" with the number from the list. Here is my script. I will
give you up until the part that the error occurs, as everything afterwords is
pointless.
I am fairly new to python, so if anything looks screwed up or like I am an
idiot, it is because I am.
import fileinput, sys, os
devlist = []
maxdev = int(input("How many devices to add: "))
curdev = int("0")
while curdev < maxdev:
try:
Number = int(input("Enter Device number: "))
devlist.append(Number)
curdev = curdev + 1
except ValueError:
print("Please enter a valid number")
ready = 0
while ready != "Y" and ready != "y" and ready != "yes" and ready != "YES" and
ready != "ready" and ready != "Ready":
try:
ready = input("Confirm when you are ready ")
except ValueError:
print("shit broke. ")
##This next step will seek out the word Device within firstdev.ahk, and replace
with devlist[0]
for line in fileinput.input(["firstdev.ahk"], inplace=True):
line = line.replace("device", devlist[0])
sys.stdout.write(line)
##next step runs firstdev.ahk
os.system('firstdev.ahk')
##next step is replacing devlist[0] with "device"
for line in fileinput.input(["firstdev.ahk"], inplace=True):
line = line.replace(devlist[0], "device")
sys.stdout.write(line)
del devlist[0] #deleting the first item from the list. next steps will repeat.
Thanks in advance.
