Hi,
Just learning Python, on chapter 6 of Learning Python 2nd Ed. So, on to
the question. Is there a better way to
implement the code below? It scans a saved html file and highlights
certain keywords is a bold, red font. It works,
but I suppose I'm wondering if it's the "Pythonic" way.
Thanks,
Will
#!/usr/bin/env python
in_put = open('test.html', 'r')
out_put = open('test_highlight.html', 'a')
for line in in_put:
line = line.replace("TWY", "<b><font
color='#FF0000'>TWY</font></b>")
line = line.replace("RWY", "<b><font
color='#FF0000'>RWY</font></b>")
line = line.replace("WIP", "<b><font
color='#FF0000'>WIP</font></b>")
out_put.write(line)
in_put.close()
out_put.close()
