Hi everyone,
I have a program where I open a file (recipe.txt), I read that file and
write it to another file. I am doing some multiplying of numbers in
between; however, my question is, when I name the file I am writing to, the
file extension is changed, but the file name is not. What am I doing wrong?
Code:
import Homework5_1 as multiply
def MultiplyNumbersInFile(file_name, multiplier):
'''Open file/read file/write new file that doubles all int's in the
read file'''
try:
read_file = open(file_name)
except IOError:
print "I can't find file: ", file_name
return
new_file_name = file_name + '2'
try:
write_file = open(new_file_name, 'w')
except IOError:
read_file.close()
print "I can't open file: ", new_file_name
return
for line in read_file:
new_line = line.split()
new_line = ''.join(multiply.MultiplyText(new_line, multiplier))
write_file.write(new_line + '\n')
read_file.close()
write_file.close()
def main():
file_name = raw_input('What file do you want to open? ')
multiplier = multiply.GetUserNumber()
MultiplyNumbersInFile(file_name, multiplier)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
What I am doing in IDLE:
What file do you want to open? recipe.txt
Enter a multiplier: 2
The file that is actually created in my directory is still named recipe;
however, the file type is now TXT2 File. How do I make it so I am updating
the file name to recipe2 instead of the file type?
