Hi, Bart: Thank you, your post is working now, maybe, I did something
wrong, unfortunately, you are right, my setup for getting the file to pull
up correctly now is an issue, At first, I got a Vertical line with it
working, then I tried to tinker with it, and it fratched, lol
def border(text):
maxwidth=0
for s in text:
if len(s)>maxwidth: maxwidth=len(s)
vertinchlines=6 # assume 6 lines/inch
hozinchchars=10 # assume 10 chars/inch
hozmargin=" "*hozinchchars
newtext=[]
for i in range(vertinchlines):
newtext.append("")
newtext.append(hozmargin+"*"*(maxwidth+4)+hozmargin)
newtext.append(hozmargin+"* "+" "*maxwidth+" *"+hozmargin)
for s in text:
newtext.append(hozmargin+"* "+s+" "*(maxwidth-len(s))+" *"+hozmargin)
newtext.append(hozmargin+"* "+" "*maxwidth+" *"+hozmargin)
newtext.append(hozmargin+"*"*(maxwidth+4)+hozmargin)
for i in range(vertinchlines):
newtext.append("")
return newtext
x=textfile;indat=open(x,'r');SHI=indat.read()
textTuple = border(SHI)
for lines in textTuple:
print ("%s\n" %textTuple)
The issue is trying to get the SHI to work right, but omg, this is the
closes I have gotten, you are awsome, thank you very much, i guess i will
just keep messing with it till i get it
I had to use this code to make this work right from a file (in additon to
the border() function):
textfile="kkk4" # (don't use this; this was my test input)
x=textfile;indat=open(x,'r');
SHI=indat.readlines()
indat.close()
for i in range(len(SHI)): # remove trailing '\n' from each line
s=SHI[i]
SHI[i]=(s[0:len(s)-1])
textTuple = border(SHI)
for lines in textTuple:
print (lines)
Your indat.read() seemed to read all the lines as one long string. I used
indat.readlines() instead. However each line has a newline char '\n' at the
end. I put in a loop to get rid of that (I'm sure there's a one-line fix to
do that, but as I said don't know Python).
The input file I used had to have this format:
First Name and Last
ENGR 109-X
Fall 2999
Format Example
