It is best if you send the full error message, it helps pinpoint the
problem.
my copy of your code was:
database = []
datafile = open('/home/~/the-db/data')
for line in datafile:
database.append(line)
while tf2 != True:
command = raw_input("Enter a command. >> ")
while tf != True:
if "add" in command:
adder = raw_input("What to add? >> ")
data_base.append(adder)
if "no more" in adder:
tf = True
if "read" in command:
print(database)
if "search" in command:
searcher = raw_input("Enter term to search >> ")
if searcher in database:
# Figure this out.
if "exit database" in command:
print "Bye!"
sys.exit()
I am not sure what you typed in as your command or how your source was
formatted (the tabs did not come through to me) so I cannot say for sure.
If "add" was not your command, adder does not get defined.
My guess is that you typed in a different command so you skipped the
assignment but are checking for "no more" in adder, or attempting to
append adder. This would trigger that error. Did you get the "What to
add? >>" message?
