    <p>I have a text file that lists the first and last names of a set of employees, their ID numbers, genders and years of experience. The first line contains the number of employees. It's called employees.txt. Here it is:</p> <p>7</p> <p>John</p> <p>Doe</p> <p>33</p> <p>272838</p> <p>M</p> <p>Mary</p> <p>Johnson</p> <p>38</p> <p>3849383</p> <p>F</p> <p>Opie</p> <p>Dog</p> <p>6</p> <p>839293</p> <p>M</p> <p>Missy</p> <p>Dog</p> <p>4</p> <p>238392</p> <p>F</p> <p>John</p> <p>Bla</p> <p>28</p> <p>834282</p> <p>M</p> <p>Amelia</p> <p>Spien</p> <p>2</p> <p>5789812</p> <p>F</p> <p>Shane</p> <p>CasenStien</p> <p>2</p> <p>567891</p> <p>M</p> <hr> <p>I want to organize this information into a list of dictionaries and then find all the female employees and print out their first and last names. I can get the list of dictionaries to work, but I'm getting an error when I try to find and print out the names of the female employees. Here's my code:</p> <pre><code>def employee_write(file): employee_dict = {} employee_dict["First"] = file.readline().strip() employee_dict["Last"] = file.readline().strip() employee_dict["Experience"] = file.readline().strip() employee_dict["ID"] = file.readline().strip() employee_dict["Gender"] = file.readline().strip() return employee_dict def female_print(x2): for term in x2: for word in employee_dict: if employee_dict["Gender"] == "F": print(employee_dict["First"]) print(employee_dict["Last"]) def main(): file = open("employees.txt", "r") n = int(file.readline()) x1 = employee_write(file) employee_list = [] for i in range(n): employee_list.append(x1) x2 = employee_list print(x2) female_print(x2) main() </code></pre> <p>What is my error here? The female_print() function is not working because it says that the name 'employee_dict' is not defined. What's the problem?</p>

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.
