Dear python Friends,
I need a quick suggestion on the below code. def modify_various_line(f): """ Try modifiying various line """ try: f.write('0123456789abcdef') f.seek(5) # Go to the 6th byte in the file print f.read(1) f.seek(-3, 2) # Go to the 3rd byte before the end print f.read(1) f.write('END') except IOError as e: raise return True def h(): try: with open('/tmp/file.txt', 'r+') as f: try: modify_various_line(f) except Exception as e: print e except IOError as e: print(e) h() gpal-cwerzvd-1# python ganesh1.py 5 d gpal-cwerzvd-1# cat /tmp/file.txt 0123456789abcdefEND# (1) Can we use try and expect in a 'with open' function as shown in the below example code . (2) If I hit any other exceptions say Value-error can I catch them as show below try: with open('/tmp/file.txt', 'r+') as f: try: modify_various_line(f) value_list = [str(value) for value in somedict.values()]] except (ValueError,IOError) as e: print e except IOError as e: PS: I don't want to use other way of opening file say file = open(“testfile.txt”,”w”) and also want to retain modify_various_line(f) function , Regards, Ganesh -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
