I am trying to write some code which will open List1.txt
and copy the contents up until it sees the string 'John smith'
to List2.txt
.
This is what I have so far:
F=open('C:\T\list.txt','r').readlines()
B=开发者_Go百科open('C:\T\list2.txt','w')
BB=open('C:\T\list2.txt','r').readlines()
while BB.readlines() == 'John smith':
B.writelines(F)
Here is an example of what List1.txt
could contain:
Natly molar
Jone rock
marin seena
shan lra
John smith
Barry Bloe
Sara bloe`
However, it doesn't seem to be working. What am I doing wrong?
from itertools import takewhile
with open('List1.txt') as fin, open('List2.txt', 'w') as fout:
lines = takewhile(lambda x : x != 'John smith\n', fin)
fout.writelines(lines)
F=open('C:\T\list1.txt','r')
B=open('C:\T\list2.txt','w')
for l in F: #for each line in list1.txt
if l.strip() == 'John Smith': #l includes newline, so strip it
break
B.write(l)
F.close()
B.close()
