file2lines

[Miki Tebeka]

Hello All,

Is there a standard function that does something like this?

def file2lines(file_name):
	lines = []
	try:
		fp = open(file_name)
		lines = fp.readlines()
		fp.close()
	except:
		pass # ignore errors
		
	return lines

And then you can just:

for line in file2lines('myfile'):
	some_interesting_function(line)


Bye.
