Hey guys! Quick question

Code

userpassFile = open("userpass.txt", "r")
list1 = userpassFile.readlines()
print(list1)

Gives: (type = list)

['username1:password1\n', 'username2:password2\n', 'username3:password3\n']

Now how would I go about

Splitting this into seperate values so i can work with the user and pass independently?

Thank you

Edit: Here's what I ended up with, works, but it's messy.

Code

userpassFile = open("userpass.txt", "r")
list1 = userpassFile.readlines()
print(list1)

for each in list1:
    each = each.strip()
    # print(each.split(':')[0])
    usernameStr = (each.split(':')[0])
    passwordStr = (each.split(':')[1])
    print(usernameStr)
    print(passwordStr)

It's not messy, it's how this is done. You could shorten it by one line, but that's about it

Code

with open("userpass.txt", "r") as f:
    txt = f.read()

for line in txt:
    line.strip("\n")
    username_str, password_str = line.split(",")

Also make sure to close your file f.close() if you don't open it using the "with" keyword, if you do Python closes the file for you.

Alternatively, use configparser or import another py file containing the user/pass variables. Nonetheless, you should get into a habit of not hard coding creds. I prefer to either use arguments or input(). Or atleast hash them.
