Hi; I'm trying to use the struct.unpack to extract an int, int, char struct info from a file. I'm more accustomed to the file.readlines which works well in a 'for' construct (ending loop after reaching EOF).
# This does OK at fetching one 10-byte string at a time: # (4, 4, 2 ascii chars representing hex) info1, info2, info3 = struct.unpack('<IIH', myfile.read(10)) # Now to do the entire file, putting into a loop just gives error: # TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable for info1, info2, info3 in struct.unpack('<IIH', myfile.read(10)): In trying to shoehorn this into a 'for' loop I've been unsuccessful. I also tried other variations that also didn't work but no point wasting space. Using Python 2.5, WinXP Thx, Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
