You don't specify the environment, so I'll have to assume Python 3.x. And it is likely Windows since you use x: as though it were part of the path. > You'll have to pretend this is properly quoted. ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ and now my newbie attempt: # I can get this far in approach #1 >>> filename = "z:/Geog482/egund919/Program1/BOJ.txt" >>> myfile = open(filename,"r") >>> newfile = "z:/Geog482/egund919/Program1/BOJ_B.txt" >>> mynewfile = open(newfile,"w") >>> while True: line = myfile.readline() print line mynewfile.write(line) if not line: break ₩₩₩₩₩₩₩₩₩₩₩ print by itself is a no-op. If you had included the parentheses, it'd at least produce a blank line. line by itself is also a no-op. What were you trying to do with the variable? You neglected to close either of the files. Won't probably matter here, but it will someday. Best get the habit now. Just what was the point of this fragment? In what way did it fall short, other than having two no-ops in it? You have a different fragment with other apparent problems. But you never spell out the problem. -- DaveA _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
