| Hi,
| Just learning Python, on chapter 6 of Learning Python 2nd Ed. So, on to
| the question. Is there a better way to
| implement the code below? It scans a saved html file and highlights
| certain keywords is a bold, red font. It works,
| but I suppose I'm wondering if it's the "Pythonic" way.
| Thanks,
| Will
|
| #!/usr/bin/env python
|
| in_put = open('test.html', 'r')
| out_put = open('test_highlight.html', 'a')
=====================================
| for line in in_put:
| line = line.replace("TWY", "<b><font
| color='#FF0000'>TWY</font></b>")
| line = line.replace("RWY", "<b><font
| color='#FF0000'>RWY</font></b>")
| line = line.replace("WIP", "<b><font
| color='#FF0000'>WIP</font></b>")
| out_put.write(line)
=====================================
|
| in_put.close()
| out_put.close()
replace_words = ['TWY', 'RWY', 'WIP']
for line in in_put:
for replace_word in replace_words:
out_put.write(line.replace(replace_word,"<b><font
color='#FF0000'>"+replace_word+"</font></b>"))
You can furthur reduce for loops.
