(New) String problem

[Charlie of Bolton]

Hi,

I would like to know why, Idle is telling me that the IP is
not defined, here is my error msg from Python Idle:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:/Charlie Python/11 Octo 2007/test5.txt", line 62, in <module>
    print 'loss = ' + loss + ip
NameError: name 'ip' is not defined

And here is my code:

while not action:
    pingaling =os.popen("ping %s" %(ipAddress),"r")
    results = pingaling.read() 
    print results
    for line in results:
        f=open('c:/tmp/workfile.txt', 'a+')
        f.write(line)
        f.close()
    for line in open("c:/tmp/workfile.txt"): 
        s = 0
        e = 0
        loss_num = 0 # Initialize it
    if line.startswith("Ping statistics for"):
        ip=line.split()[-1][:-1]
    if line.find("(")!=-1:
        s=line.index("(")
        e=line.index(")")
        loss=line[s+1:e].replace("loss","")
#------------------------------------------------------
        print 'loss = ' + loss + ip
        loss_num = loss.strip() # remove spaces if any
        loss_num = loss_num.strip('%') # remove the % sign from loss       
        print 'number = ' + loss_num
    try:
              loss_num = float(loss_num) # change it into a number
              if loss_num >= 2 :
               output_line = loss + ',' + "'" + ip + "'" + "\n"
               s=open('c:/tmp/myprimarylogs.txt', 'a+')
              #s=open('c:/tmp/primaryip.cvs', 'a+')
               s.write(output_line)
              #s.write(line+"\n")
               s.close()
    except:
               loss_num = ''         
    print ('-----------------')
    print ('Please wait')
    print ('-----------------') 
    # waiting
    time.sleep(1)

It's not IDLE giving you the message. IDLE is simply the interface that you are using to connect to the Python interpreter. You would get this message no matter how you connect to Python. Because:
I don't see

ip = anything

anywhere. It's got to be assigned in order to be used. Perhaps you want

 + ipAddress

in there.

It is likely that the if statement below is returning False:[code=Python]
if line.startswith ("Ping statistics for"):
ip=line.split()[-1][:-1][/code]You have already iterated on the data file. The file method read() returns a single string.

I missed that due to the missing space between 'ip' and '='. I could have refined my search or people could get in the practice of producing readable code... Hmmm.
