Hi
I have a fileobject which was fine however now I want to delete a line from the file object before yielding.
def return_files(file_list):
for filename in sorted(file_list):
with open(dir_path + filename) as fd:
for fileItem in fd:
yield fileItem
Ned gave an answer over here http://stackoverflow.com/a/6985814/461887
for i, line in enumerate(input_file):
if i == 0 or not line.startswith('#'):
output.write(line)
which I would change because it is the first line and I want to rid <!--
for i, line in enumerate(input_file):
if line.startswith(<!--'):
output.write(line)
However I do not want to write the file I want to restore all the enumerated files back to the fileItem I need to yield.
How do I do this?
Cheers
Sayth
