Hello
Can you help me figure out why I am getting this compile error with my
program. The error occurs right at the bottom of my code & I have
commented where it occurs.
The error is:
[QUOTE]Expected an indented block[/QUOTE]
[CODE]"""
*Stock Data Builder*

- Search website for stock
- Get website HTML source code
- Search code for target stock data(price,dividends)

""" Retrieve HTML source code from websitr URL &
save in sourceBuffer """
return sourceBuffer
def getData(targetData, dataBuffer):

data & returns that whole line """
def writeToFile(textFile, dataBuffer):

fileT.write(dataBuffer)
return True; # function succeeded

# CHANGE this to try except to catch errors
fileT = open(textFile,'a')
for element in dataList:
fileT.write(element)
return True; # function succeeded

while (programEnd == False):
#ERROR HERE?? - Error="Expected an indented block"
main()[/CODE]
