Huh. That does seem to make the code a lot cleaner.
Thanks for all of your help!

[Tutor] Syntax Error
Hi all,
I'm working on a little script, but every time that I run it, it comes
back as a syntax error around line 24. However, I can't find anything
wrong with it.
I figure that maybe I just need another set of eyes. Please take a
look at this code, and let me know if you can find anything wrong
with it that would cause a syntax error?
Thanks in advance!
Kris Kerwin
Script -
#!/usr/bin/python
import commands
import string
import os
os.chdir('/home/kris/Mail/.inbox.directory')
file_string = commands.getoutput('tree -afi')
new_file_string = string.replace(file_string, ' ', '_SPACE_')
file_list = string.split(new_file_string)
# Pop of leading '.' directory.
file_list.pop(0)
# Pop of directory stats.
file_list.pop()
index = 1
while index < (len(file_list) + 1):
file_name = file_list.pop()
new_file_name = string.replace(file_name, '_SPACE_', ' ')
unix_name = string.replace(new_file_name, ' ', '\ '
file_type = commands.getoutput('file %s' % unix_name) # << Line 24
if file_type == '%s: ASCII mail text, with very long lines' %
new_file_name:
file_contents = commands.getoutput('cat %s' % unix_name)
print file_contents
index = index + 1
else:
index = index + 1
os.chdir('/home/kris/bin/gmail_export/')
