Loop function works first time, not second time
- by user1483101
I'm creating a parsing program to look for certain strings in a a text file and count them. However, I'm having some trouble with one spot.
def callbrowse():
filename = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(filetypes = (("Text files", "*.txt"),("HTML files", ".html;*.htm"),("All files", "*.*")))
print filename
try:
global filex
global writefile
filex = open(filename, 'r')
print "Success!!"
print filename
except:
print "Failed to open file"
######This returns the correct count only the first time it is run. The next time it ######returns 0. If the browse button is clicked again, then this function returns the ######correct count again.
def count_errors(error_name):
count = 0
for line in filex:
if error_name == "CPU > 79%":
stringparse = "Utilization is above"
elif error_name == "Stuck touchscreen":
stringparse = "Stuck touchscreen"
if re.match("(.*)" + "Utilization is above" + "(.*)",line):
count = count + 1
return count
Thanks for any help. I can't seem to get this to work right.
