How to modify this script?

[chaouche yacine]

Well, I'm not answering your question since I am rewriting the script, because I prefer it this way :)

def addline(line):
    return "<tr>%s</tr>\n" % line

def addcolumn(item,nb_columns):
    if nb_columns != 3:
        return "<td colspan='%s'>%s</td>" % (3 - nb_columns + 1, item)
    return "<td>%s</td>" % item

output = "<table>\n"
for line in file("data.txt"):
    items = line.strip().split("\t")
    columns = ""
    for item in items :
        columns += addcolumn(item,len(items))
    output  += addline(columns)


output += "</table>"
print output


printed

>>> <table>
<tr><td colspan='3'>Price table</td></tr>
<tr><td>1 </td><td> Green apple </td><td> $1</td></tr>
<tr><td>5 </td><td> Green apples </td><td> $4</td></tr>
<tr><td>10 </td><td> Green apples </td><td> $7</td></tr>
</table>
>>>

I've tried to put it in several different places in the script, but with 
no luck; remember that I'm not experienced, so please tell me exactly 
where it's surposed to be inserted. Could you eventually show the 
complete modified script?
