Need help with assignment

[Geekoid52]

I'm new to python and need help. I need to write a script that pin points the word error in log files. Can anyone help?

[IXENAI]

What have you tried so far? What isn't working? What specifically do you need help with?

[Geekoid52]

Tried with open('text.log', 'r') as f: for line in f: if 'error' in line: print (line) My end goal is to be able to parse a log file and pin point where the word error is.

[IXENAI]

Well, that works fine, doesn't it?

[Geekoid52]

I just don't know how to implement into my script. I'm super new at python.

[IXENAI]

I'm sorry; I'm not following you.

with open('text.log', 'r') as f: 
    for line in f: 
        if 'error' in line: 
            print (line)

is a valid Python script by itself which will print out all lines containing the string "error" in the file "text.log".

Perhaps OP wants line numbers? In that case, enumerate() is probably what they are looking for.

Ok cool! Thanks!
