simple print is not working..

[lahirister@gmail.com]

What is wrong with this script?

#!/usr/bin/python
fsfile = open('/tmp/fs_info.al', 'r')
for line in fsfiles.readlin es():
print line
fsfile.close()


#./get_fs_info.py
File "./get_fs_info.py" , line 4
print line
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


Any ideas?

Thanks

Sorry typo: Script is like this:

#!/usr/bin/python
fsfile = open('/tmp/fs_info.al', 'r')
for line in fsfile.readline s():
print line
fsfile.close()

*not* fsfiles as I typed in original post.

Did you cut and paste that code? I see a couple typos

First, on the line

for line in fsfiles.readlin es():

There's an extra s in fsfile

Secondly, the line:

print line

should have an indentation to denote that its the block of code that the
for loop will execute on.

..c

Well first, you have to indent properly :) Assuming you did that and
the copy & paste just removed it, you're also creating a variable
called fsfile, then trying to call the readlines() method on an
object called fsfiles... that'll cause a problem.
