    <p><strong>The Problem - Update:</strong></p> <p>I could get the script to print out but had a hard time trying to figure out a way to put the stdout into a file instead of on a screen. the below script worked on printing results to the screen. I posted the solution right after this code, scroll to the [ solution ] at the bottom.</p> <p><strong>First post:</strong></p> <p>I'm using Python 2.7.3. I am trying to extract the last words of a text file after the colon (<code>:</code>) and write them into another txt file. So far I am able to print the results on the screen and it works perfectly, but when I try to write the results to a new file it gives me <code>str has no attribute write/writeline</code>. Here it the code snippet:</p> <pre><code># the txt file I'm trying to extract last words from and write strings into a file #Hello:there:buddy #How:areyou:doing #I:amFine:thanks #thats:good:I:guess x = raw_input("Enter the full path + file name + file extension you wish to use: ") def ripple(x): with open(x) as file: for line in file: for word in line.split(): if ':' in word: try: print word.split(':')[-1] except (IndexError): pass ripple(x) </code></pre> <p>The code above works perfectly when printing to the screen. However I have spent hours reading Python's documentation and can't seem to find a way to have the results written to a file. I know how to open a file and write to it with writeline, readline, etc, but it doesn't seem to work with strings.</p> <p>Any suggestions on how to achieve this?</p> <p>PS: I didn't add the code that caused the write error, because I figured this would be easier to look at. </p> <p><strong>End of First Post</strong></p> <p><strong>The Solution - Update:</strong></p> <p>Managed to get python to extract and save it into another file with the code below.</p> <p><strong>The Code:</strong></p> <pre><code>inputFile = open ('c:/folder/Thefile.txt', 'r') outputFile = open ('c:/folder/ExtractedFile.txt', 'w') tempStore = outputFile for line in inputFile: for word in line.split(): if ':' in word: splitting = word.split(':')[-1] tempStore.writelines(splitting +'\n') print splitting inputFile.close() outputFile.close() </code></pre> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>checkout droogans code over mine, it was more efficient.</p>

    3. CO@SimeonVisser: your right i was just hoping my explanation would give a hint i figured if i posted what i was trying to achive it would throw everybody off as i am new to this. but for sure from now on i will always add the rest of the code. Thank you though for your comment.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
