I am not sure what the right syntax is here. So please help me out (started 2 days ago).
I have a list of about 20 files that I want to read line by line into a 2D list. So the first dimension will be each file, and the second every line in that file. I tried to do something like this: files_and_lines = [][] filenumber = 0 for files in file_names: try: lexi_file = open(str(sys.path[0]) + "/lexi/" + files, "r") files_and_lines[filenumber] = lexi_file.readlines() filenumber = filenumber + 1 except(IOError): print "Something went wrong trying to read the file:" print "'" + str(sys.path[0]) + files + "'" But that was not very sucksessfully. I am not even sure on how to define an empty 2D list. Thanks for all help. ии -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
