Your code has indentation errors, my analysis assumes # the following was added to make it runnable class TTS: def say(self, message): print "TTS says:", message tts = TTS() # end of my addition tts.say("Hi") x = "C:/FTP_Folder/test1.txt" f = open(x) r = f.read(500) tts.say("Current position number in the text file is") tts.say(r) f.close() f1 = open(x,'w') z = f1.write("1") f1.close() tts.say("writing to file") tts.say("A.B.B. robot; go to my directed position") f = open(x) r0 = f.read(500) tts.say(r0) nao = r0 f.close() import time time.sleep(5) # delays for 5 seconds ##f1 = open(x,'w') ##f1.write("0") ##f1.close() y = "C:/FTP_Folder/test3.txt" f2 = open(y) r1 = f2.read(500) abb = r1 if nao == abb: print("Positions are same") print r, r1 else: print("not same") print nao, abb > , in the last section I used "IF" condition. - If you see > in my code, I'm writing to "test1.txt" and saving that value in "nao" as > well.

No, they don't. nao will contain the first 500 bytes of the file "C:/FTP_Folder/test1.txt" while abb will contain the first 500 bytes of the file "C:/FTP_Folder/test3.txt". But even if you start with two files with the same contents -- with the following lines > f1 = open(x,'w') > z = f1.write("1") > f1.close() you overwrite "C:/FTP_Folder/test1.txt" which now contains only a single "1". Thus the nao == abb test will only compare equal if "C:/FTP_Folder/test3.txt" contains a single "1", too. > This code always giving me "not same" > result. > > I'm not sure why this is not working. > I would greatly appreciate your help. > > Please let me know for any question. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
