In the code below, I'm trying to read from a file, and print out the
lines.
Steven addressed that but...
def increment():
for number in range(1, 500):
print number ++1
This function if called will print out all of the numbers at once, it
won't return anything.
I don't think thats what you want. Maybe it was:
def increment()
for number in range(500)
yield number + 1 # returns the numbers 1.....500, one
number per call.
There are better ways to do that but this was the nearest guess
I could make to your possible intent...
readcont = linecache.getline(outputfile, increment) '''increment is
Here you pass the name of the function increment, I suspect
that you meant to do
readcont = linecache.getline(outputfile, increment() )
where increment was like the generator function above.
However even if you did want to do that using enumerate() would
probably be more effective. So slightly mofdifying Steven's code:
f = open("filename.txt")
for number, line in enumerate(f):
print "%5d%s" % (number, line)
f.close()
Is that close?
