Thanks for that Richard and Steve. I have another question.
What's the question?
fname = raw_input('Please enter the name of the file: ') # create file objects blah = open(fname, 'r') a = open('rubbish', 'w') for line in blah: if line.startswith("0"): a.write(line) elif line.endswith("0"): lists_a = line.strip().split() print lists_a
The following block is a dead code; the block will never be executed since if line.startswith("0") is true, the control will fall to the a.write(line) block and this block is skipped.
elif line.startswith("0"): lists_b = line.strip().split() print lists_b Essentially, I wish to take input from a file and based on the location of zero, assign lines to lists. Any suggestions? Seafoid.
