Hi All,

i have a little program that gets a url from urllib and saves the html content to a file. i then want to search for certain words in that file.

here is my code to search for the words.

list = ["yes","no","maybe"]

for i in range(0,len(list)):
   f = file(u"c:\\Users\\Desktop\\test3.txt", "r")
   for line in f:
      if list[i] in line:
         score = score + 1
   i = i + 1

the html code is definitely in the file and works when i test it in PyDev. yet when i try on my phone i cant get it to work.

The error i get is:

if list[i] in line:
Type error: 'in<string>' requires
character as left operand.

Any help?? Thank you.

i dont know why it works in PyDev but not on emulator

Hello IreStep,

The error is due to the fact that PyS60, unlike Python, can't determine if a string is in a string (I don't know why), only if a character is in a string.
I've come up with this alternative, I hope it helps:

list = ["yes","no","maybe"]

for i in range(len(list)):
	f = file("c:\\python\\test3.txt", "r")
	for line in f:
      		j=0
		while(j<=len(line)):
			if((list[i]==line[j:j+2]) or (list[i]==line[j:j+3]) or(list[i]==line[j:j+5])):
         			score+=1
			j+=1

Basically what it does is search every "piece" of every line in the file and checks if it is the same as the elements in list.
You may adapt it to the needs of your program.

Thank you i will try get it to suit my application in future.

One more question.. im about to attempt to implement some sort of user profile recognition for my app.

i dont want a login screen or anything like that but what way would you gifted pys60 developers recommend for keeping track of who is using the app and when etc.

Database is obvious choice.. or is it??

Thank you all again.

hi Irestep
i have a idea to track the apps one is using we can take a snapshots which must be running in the background of the actual application. the snapshots will be stored automatically in the phone. and after analysing that snapshots one can easily know trace one.
hope u r satisfied plz give a feedback.
thanx

I hope I understood your question.
A database is a good idea. You might try a simple approach, like writing the times at which the application is opened/closed in a text file. And if you make a login screen, you can add the user names to the text file too.

If you don't want a login screen, you can just have a selection list at the start of the application from which the user selects his identity and then as my fellow Champion Bogdan suggested, you could have the time + identity written to a text file which will act as the database for your application.

Thanks again!

You guys really helping me with learning to use pys60.

Really appreciate it. selection list seems like a good idea
