def coverUp(directory):
import os
for file in os.listdir(directory):
if file.endswith(".txt"):
myfile=open(file,"wt")
myfile.replace("ZL","MS")
file.close()
| myfile is a file. This is different from a string. You can only REMOVEDe .replace on strings. Try reading the file to a string first. Student1594 |
def coverUp(directory):
import os
for file in os.listdir(directory):
if file.endswith(".txt"):
myfile=open(directory+"\\"+file,"rt")
content=myfile.read()
myfile.close()
w=content.replace('ZL','MS')
newfile=open(directory+"\\"+file,"wt")
newfile.write(str(w))
newfile.close()
| You shouldn't need to cast w to a string since it already is a string. Otherwise it looks good. Student1594 |
how would this look without the extra step of cast w to a string?
newfile.replace("old initials", "new initials") ??
or would you REMOVEDe a for loop?
