Hello,
I need help with the following problem:
*Write a loop that reads each line of a file and counts the number of lines
that are read until the total length of the lines is 1,000 characters. Use a
break statement to make sure that you don't continue reading the file once
the 1,000 characters are read.
I figured out how to open a file, count and print the lines, however I
cannot figure out or find online ...or anywhere else how to count characters
in a file. This is what i have so far:
file = open("/Users/meitalamitai/Documents/Computer
Science/Python/Homework/Lorem_Ipsum.py")
lines = 0
for line in file:
lines=lines+1
print '%r has %r lines' % ("Lorem_Ipsum.py", lines)
if char >= 1000:
break *
Thanks!
