I'm trying to open a text file, remove all instances of the words "f=x;" and "i=x;" where x can be any number 0-14. Also, I want to remove all { " or ) or ( or ' } each time one of those characters occurs respectively. This is what I've been able to piece together...
import os, string x = ("f=;") y = ("i=;) inputFile = open('abcd.txt','r') data = inputFile.read() inputFile.close() search = string.find(data, x) if search >=1: data = data.replace(x) data = data.replace(y) outputFile = open('abcd.txt','w') outputFile.write(data) outputFile.close() This doesn't work, even to just remove "f=;". Any help would be great. Thanks, Reece -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
