I am trying to read lines from a text file however I get stuck trying to access the lines, or so I think.
import sys
import math
import re
CANVAS_HEIGHT = 500
CANVAS_WIDTH = 500
SVG_HEADER = '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width="%d" height="%d">\n'
SVG_BOUNDING_BOX = '<rect x="0" y="0" width="%d" height="%d" style="stroke:#000;fill:none" />\n'
SVG_LINE = '<line x1="%d" y1="%d" x2="%d" y2="%d" style="stroke:#000" />\n'
SVG_FOOTER = '</svg>'
print SVG_HEADER % (CANVAS_WIDTH, CANVAS_HEIGHT)
print SVG_BOUNDING_BOX % (CANVAS_WIDTH, CANVAS_HEIGHT)
try:
line_number = 0
for S in sys.stdin:
line_number = line_number + 1
L = S.split()
try:
x0 = float(L[1])
y0 = float(L[2])
x1 = float(L[3])
x1 = float(L[4])
except:
sys.stderr.write('Error in line %d: %s\n' % (line_number, S))
print SVG_LINE, x0, y0, x1, y1
except:
sys.stderr.write('Cannot open: %s\n' % sys.argv[1])
print '%s\n' % (SVG_FOOTER)
In the terminal, I get stuck at the
for S in sys.stdin:
If you were wondering, the purpose of this code is to take lines and place them into svg format. All the sys.stderr.write is just specs from my prof.
The lines i am reading are just like
"line 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0"
a bunch of times.
At this line:
for S in sys.stdin:
your program isn't stuck, it is waiting for input. Try typing:
line 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0
followed by the EOF indicator (in UNIX and derivatives: ^D
. In MS-DOS and derivatives: ^Z
). You may need to enter the EOF indicator twice.
If you are trying to read from a text file instead of the console, you'll want to either open the text file in your program, or use file redirection in your shell:
Option 1:
# If you always use the same input file:
with open("somefile.txt") as fp:
for S in fp:
...
or
# If you always have exactly one command-line parameter:
with open(sys.argv[1]) as fp:
for S in fp:
or, my favorite, because fileinput
allows you to specify one, several, or no command-line parameters,
# If you want to specify file(s) on the command line
import fileinput
...
for S in fileinput.input():
...
Option 2:
$ python my_program.py < somefile.txt
or
C:\Users\me> python my_program.py < somefile.txt
