Hello, I am trying to parse some files so that if a postal code exists, but is longer than five digits it will return me only the first five digits: ... for insDict in insureDict: insDict['postalcode'] = insDict.get('postalcode')[:5] ... This works, except for when I get a blank postalcode. In which case I get the following error. ERR exceptions.TypeError: iteration over non-sequence
What I would like to do is to check to make sure a value exists. I just cannot seem to find the syntax to do that. (not asking anyone to write my code, just looking for a pointer) Thanks -- Randomly generated signature -- In God I Trust -- on all others I use dsniff, ettercap and lczroex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
