Hi there,
I have a word document containing pictures and text. This documents
holds several 'ABCDEF' strings which serve as a placeholder for names.
Now I want to replace these occurences with names in a list (members). I
open both input and output file in binary mode and do the
transformation. However, I can't open the resulting file, Word just
telling that there was an error. Does anybody what I am doing wrong?
Oh, and is this approach pythonic anyway? (I have a strong Java background.)
Regards,
antoine
import os
members = somelist
os.chdir(somefolder)
doc = file('ttt.doc', 'rb')
docout = file('ttt1.doc', 'wb')
counter = 0
for line in doc:
while line.find('ABCDEF') > -1:
try:
line = line.replace('ABCDEF', members[counter], 1)
docout.write(line)
counter += 1
except:
docout.write(line.replace('ABCDEF', '', 1))
else:
docout.write(line)
doc.close()
docout.close()
