Hi everyone,
Revised code:
fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")
if len(fname) < 1 : fname = "mbox-short.txt" # assign fname
fh=open(fname,'r') # Open a new file handle
for line in fh:
print line
if 'From' in line.split()[0] and '@' in line: sender = line.split()[1]
fn.seek(0)
print sender
Questions: Why is the loop not repeating, and where should I insert a split to
remove 'Sat Jan 5:09:14:16 2008'

Hi Steve:
New revision code:
count = 0
fn = raw_input("Enter file name: ")
if len(fn) < 1 : fname = "mbox-short.txt"
for line in fn:
if 'From' in line.split()[0]: count += 1
print "There are %d lines starting with From" % count
print len(line)
fn = open(fname)
print "There were", count, "lines in the file with From as the first word"
Syntax message produced by iPython interperter:
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
C:\Users\vm\Desktop\apps\docs\Python\assinment_8_5_v_2.py in <module>()
6 print "There are %d lines starting with From" % count
7 print len(line)
----> 8 fn = open(fname)
9 print "There were", count, "lines in the file with From as the first wor
d"
NameError: name 'fname' is not defined
In [16]:
Question:
Why is fname = "mbox-short.txt" not loading the sample data?
Sample data file is located at http://www.pythonlearn.com/code/mbox-short.txt
Regards,
Hal

Running the code in the simulator, I get the following error on line 6:
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'startwith'
You misspelled "startswith" as "startwith" (missing the second "s").
