Sorry guys. It has been a long day today. There is no issues when dealing with "#" in variables. I found out that when I was reading the file, there were additional blank spaces being appended to the value.
To correct the issue, I just had to dp varName = msInfo[0].strip() finName = varName.strip() On 2/27/07, Sick Monkey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have a quick question about handling values with special characters. Lets say I have a file which contains: ================================== blah#blah ================================== Here is what I have for my code: f6 = open(fileAttached) msInfo = f6.readlines(); f6.close() varName = msInfo[0] .... smtp.login(uname,varName) ... ================================== I am trying to connect to a mailserver, and it keeps failing. My guess is that the "#" sign messing up. Is there anyway to encode that character?
