elif line(-1) == 'F' and line(1) != ' ':
you need to use [] vs () to subscript into line. as the message says line is
not callable.
line[-1] is the last char in line and line[1] is the second char in line.

Hello All,
I am playing with python to work read some text files and help me gather
some data. I have some further reading to do and was hoping some of you can
help point me in the right direction. This is what I have so far.
f = open('H:\xxxx\xxxx\xxxx\9-7-07')
#File is a report that summarizes each account by account group and service
area then has the details for each account and Totals before the next group
of accounts.
edit = ["GRP", "AREA", "CHARGES"]
ptype = "NULL"
area = "NULL"
for line in f:
if line[:12] == 'ACCOUNT GROUP':
ptype = line[16:] # The account
group starts on the 16th character of the line
elif line[:11] == 'SERVICE AREA':
area = line[11:] # The service
area starts on the 11th character of the line
elif line(-1) == 'F' and line(1) != ' ':
edit.append(ptype,area,line[56:66]) # I wanted to append the
edit stack with the variables collected above.
f.close()
print edit
I get this error message -
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py",
line 310, in RunScript
exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
File "C:\Documents and Settings\menesea\My Documents\scripts\readfile.py",
line 11, in <module>
elif line(-1) == 'F' and line(1) != ' ':
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
Thanks in advance,
Alden
