Hi, Bart: Thank you, your post is working now, maybe, I did something wrong,
unfortunately, you are right, my setup for getting the file to pull up
correctly now is an issue, At first, I got a Vertical line with it working,
then I tried to tinker with it, and it fratched, lol
def border(text):
maxwidth=0
for s in text:
if len(s)>maxwidth: maxwidth=len(s)
vertinchlines=6 # assume 6 lines/inch
hozinchchars=10 # assume 10 chars/inch
hozmargin=" "*hozinchchars
newtext=[]
for i in range(vertinchlines):
newtext.append("")
newtext.append(hozmargin+"*"*(maxwidth+4)+hozmargin)
newtext.append(hozmargin+"* "+" "*maxwidth+" *"+hozmargin)
for s in text:
newtext.append(hozmargin+"* "+s+" "*(maxwidth-len(s))+" *"+hozmargin)
newtext.append(hozmargin+"* "+" "*maxwidth+" *"+hozmargin)
newtext.append(hozmargin+"*"*(maxwidth+4)+hozmargin)
for i in range(vertinchlines):
newtext.append("")
return newtext
x=textfile;indat=open(x,'r');SHI=indat.read()
textTuple = border(SHI)
for lines in textTuple:
print ("%s\n" %textTuple)
The issue is trying to get the SHI to work right, but omg, this is the closes I
have gotten, you are awsome, thank you very much, i guess i will just keep
messing with it till i get it
