I've written this program that has been working fine until today. Can't work out why it stopped working. The program pulls a list from an xls file, inserts each item from the list into a repeating string, that then concatenates the repeating string and writes it to a text file. It has worked fine until today, and now for some reason, it stops after 30 items in my list. I also just tried another list, and that one stopped after 70 items. Perhaps someone could take a look?
Here's the file followed by the traceback: import xlrd import win32clipboard def program_uno(): ofile = open(r"C:\Query\DQLVault.txt", "w") book = xlrd.open_workbook(r"C:\DocLoader\MCL_Drawing and Legacy Docloader Sheet.xls") sh = book.sheet_by_index(0) e = sh.cell_value(1, 0) a = sh.col_values(0, start_rowx=2, end_rowx=200) b = r'%' + e c = r'%Master-V%' y = r"SELECT object_name, bp_master_date, revision, bp_revision_date, bp_unit_no, r_version_label, r_object_id, r_lock_owner, r_content_size, a_content_type, r_modify_date, r_object_type, r_link_cnt, r_assembled_from_id, r_has_frzn_assembly, a_is_hidden, i_is_replica, i_is_reference, r_is_virtual_doc, i_chronicle_id, i_folder_id FROM mcl_engineer (ALL) WHERE (((upper (object_name) like upper('%s')) and (any upper(r_version_label) like upper('%s'))" %(b, c) w = r")) ORDER BY object_name ASC, r_object_id DESC, i_position DESC" ofile.writelines(y) for x in a: d = r'%' + x z = r" or (upper(object_name) like upper('%s')) and (any upper (r_version_label) like upper('%s'))" %(d, c) f = ofile.writelines(z) ofile.writelines(w) def copy_text(): ifile = open(r"C:\Query\DQLVault.txt", "r") text = ifile.read() ifile.close() win32clipboard.OpenClipboard() win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard() win32clipboard.SetClipboardText(text) win32clipboard.CloseClipboard() program_uno() copy_text() Traceback: File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework \scriptutils.py", line 310, in RunScript exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__ File "C:\Query\DQL Vault Revision Check.py", line 34, in <module> program_uno() File "C:\Query\DQL Vault Revision Check.py", line 20, in program_uno f = ofile.writelines(z) TypeError: writelines() argument must be a sequence of strings -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
