[Tutor] question about looping.

Hi, I at trying to create a bunch of text files in a single directory on a Linux system, something like this. import os routers = ['adnc-6321', 'adnp-2341', 'adnw-2632'] for i in routers: os.system('/bin/touch' %s) % i of course this dosn't work. Is there a simple way to get this done?

Hi,   Your program does not emulate the diff command of Unix. Please do a diff in unix and experience yourselves.   Where is cmp_res = stringcmp(string1[i],string2[i]) stringcmp() function written?   Moreover, if you Python Documentation install (or python.org accessible) search for diffli

Thanks Alan, but can you please explain me what this line does: diff = [t1==t2 for t1,t2 in zip(line1,line2)].index(False)    On 10/6/06, Alan Gauld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Some general thoughts:> import sys> from stringCompare import stringcmp   # this is a module which has > stringcmp>> fname1

[Tutor] Share variables between py scripts
