Hi
I've been trying to decode a series of observations from multiple files
(each file is a different time) and put each type of observation into
their own separate file. The script runs successfully for one file but
whenever I try it for more they just overwrite each other.
fileinput.input() iterates over *lines* not entire *files*. So take a
look at this location in the code:
for file in fileinput.input(obs):
data=file[:file.find(' 333 ')]
Did you mean your iteration variable to be "file", implying that it will
hold an entire file of input data?
If you meant the iteration variable to be named "textline" instead of
"file", is it guaranteed that string ' 333 ' will occur in every such
text line?
