[Tutor] Another string question

[Jay Mutter III]

I wanted the following to check each line and if it ends in a right  
parentheses then write the entire line to one file and if not then  
write the line to anther.
It wrote all of the ) to one file and the rest of the line (ie minus  
the ) to the other file.


in_filename = raw_input('What is the COMPLETE name of the file you  
would like to process?    ')
in_file = open(in_filename, 'rU')
text = in_file.read()
count = len(text.splitlines())
print "There are ", count, 'lines to process in this file'
out_filename1 = raw_input('What is the COMPLETE name of the file in  
which you would like to save Companies?    ')
companies = open(out_filename1, 'aU')
out_filename2 = raw_input('What is the COMPLETE name of the file in  
which you would like to save Inventors?    ')
patentdata = open(out_filename2, 'aU')
for line in text:
     if line[-1] in ')':
         companies.write(line)
     else:
         patentdata.write(line)
in_file.close()
companies.close()
patentdata.close()

Thanks
