Okay i can get the whois info to out put to the screen but I'm having problems saving to a text file. It isn't saving any of the output in the text file for some reason. Maybe someone could help me

Code

from subprocess import call
import socket

hostname = raw_input("Enter Host Name : ")
IP = socket.gethostbyname(hostname)
output = call(["whois", IP])
print (output)


save= raw_input("Would you like to save to file Y or N")
if save=='Y' or save =='y' or save =='YES' or save=='yes':
    print " Save file as(Ex example.txt)"
    file = raw_input("File Name: ")
    with open(file,'a')as outputs:
    #file_open = open(file,'w')
        outputs.write(str(output))
    #file_open.close
else:
    print "You decided not to save the output"
    pass

Im only having problems saving output to txt file. I know how to save output to text files normally but its not working in this case for some reason.

If no one can help ill just make a webscrapper and do it that way.

Usually you have to specify it as a text file, were you writing it and getting a blank file?

Not sure why you do with open and as output but you'd do:

output=your stuff from before
filename=raw_input("Text file name: ")

outputfile=open(filename+".txt", "w")
outputfile.write(output)

I tried the above with "a" but I wasn't able to write to the text file, when switched to "w" it worked properly. You can then use outputfile.read() to skim whatever you need if you intend on expanding your script to fetch and automate things.

edit: don't name one of your strings "file" either as it's reserved for other things.

I didn't bother to install your modules to test it out but this should work:

Code

from subprocess import call
import socket

hostname = raw_input("Enter Host Name : ")
IP = socket.gethostbyname(hostname)
output = call(["whois", IP])
print (output)

save= raw_input("Would you like to save to file Y or N")
if save=='Y' or save =='y' or save =='YES' or save=='yes':
    print " Save file as(Ex example.txt)"
    filename= raw_input("File Name: ")
    outputfile=open(filename+".txt", "w")
    outputfile.write(output)
    outputfile.close()
else:
    print "You decided not to save the output"
    pass

You realize that there is a Whois library right?

It would make your life so much easier.

Umm ya I'm still getting a blank file for some reason. C can output to a file when i don't use the subprocess module but for some reason the call(["whois", IP]) seems to be preventing me from saving its out put to a file i can only print it to the screen. I think ima just used the whois library instead of trying to re invent the wheel.

I've made a similar program to this.
It uses Whatismyipaddress to get information on an IP in command line.
You can easily reuse it to work with or another whois lookup site.

Replace the [dot] with actual dots...
(Can't post links/etc bullshit)

Enjoy!

OP, just make your life easy and use some of the many whois python libraries.
ipwhois seems to work well:

Code

from ipwhois import IPWhois
from pprint import pprint

def whois(address, f=False, fname=None):

    if not f:
      pprint(IPWhois(address).lookup())

    elif f:
      pprint(IPWhois(address).lookup())

    with open(fname, 'w') as f:
      f.write(IPWhois(address).lookup())

    else:
      pass

You can do that in literally 1 line...

Code

for k, v in (__import__('json').loads((__import__('requests').get('http://www.telize.com/geoip/' + __import__('sys').argv[1]).text))).items(): print '%s: %s' % (k, v)

That's the most retarded script I've seen no offense 😉

Yeah, because geoip is the same thing as whois. That's the most retarded script I've seen no offense 😉
oh wait he's closed he won't read this lol im gay
