Hi, I am trying to create a program where I open a file full of lists and process them. However when the program does not recognize the lists as lists. Here is the relevant code :- def open_filedef(): text_file =open ("voteinp.txt","r") lines = text_file.readlines() for line in lines: print line print line[0] text_file.close()
And an example of the type of text :- ['a','b','c'] ['e','d','f'] Any ideas? Thanks in advance David Holland
