Code error on page "10.7. Recipe for Reading and Processing a File"

[paccattam]

The following code snippet given in the end of the text @ the link given below should have mentioned fire opbject reference instead of "lines" https://fopp.umsi.education/runestone/static/fopp/Files/FilesRecipe.html

fname = "yourfile.txt" with open(fname, 'r') as fileref: # step 1 for lin in lines: # step 2

some code that reference the variable lin

some other code not relying on fileref # step 3

@paccattam I'm not entirely sure what you are asking us to do, can you clarify a little bit? Are you saying the 2nd snippet should be: fname = "yourfile.txt" with open(fname, 'r') as fileref: # step 1 for lin in fileref.readlines(): # step 2 ## some code that reference the variable lin #some other code not relying on fileref # step 3

The example should be:

with open(fname, 'r') as fileref:
    for line in fileref:
        ## some code that uses line as the current line of the file
        ## some more code

[bnmnetp]

fileref.readlines is not wrong its just not necessary.

[presnick]

It should be lin rather than line, to be compatible with the previous example on the page.
