If you know what XtreamUI is, the script finds the servers and now got it finding the admin panels on the servers and putting the http:// address into a txt file. Next step is the sorting of the txt document and then I have a few more plans for it.

Ps the responses here are better than the coding forums, they was more interested in my grammar than my actual code 😂

hi tried adding this code but it throws anerror

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/media/user/xtreamui-admin.py", line 72, in <module>
   lines = set(sort(lines))
NameError: name 'sort' is not defined

any ideas mate?

thanks, i tried the code im my script mate and it threw me syntax errors so i opened it on its own and got this

 File "/media/user/0CF5-F689/sort.py", line 11
   my_file = open(f"{file_name}", "r")
                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

and this one

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/media/user/0CF5-F689/sort.py", line 36, in <module>
   main()


sorted that and still get syntax errors. i then tried to doctor it to stop the errors but when i eventually got it running it did nothing to the txt file or print anything to terminal so maybe i broke it  😊  😭

Should be

open(“{file_name}", "r")

Are you in a class? If so I recommend you need to go to the tutor lab. Otherwise do you have any Python experience? I can answer specific questions but I see nothing wrong with the code, other than the fact it is only supposed to print to the terminal and not write to a text file (pretty simple).

I don't mean to patronize, everyone has to start somewhere. If you are taking a class, have you guys gotten to functions yet or not?

1) Open the file
2) Create a set literal containing the stripped lines of the file (automatically removes duplicates)
3) Use `sorted` builtin for sorting. Default will sort strings alphabetically.

PHP Code


<?php 
def read_sort_deduplicate(filename):
    with open(filename, "r") as f:
        return sorted({line.strip() for line in f}) 


Example File:

Code

c
b
a
c
d
a

Extremely simple usage:

PHP Code


<?php 
>>> def read_sort_deduplicate(filename):
...     with open(filename, "r") as f:
...         return sorted({line.strip() for line in f})
...
>>> read_sort_deduplicate("test.txt")
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
