[Tutor] For loop question

[STREET Gideon (SPARQ)]

I'm running version 2.4.2

Just set up another test file and it's working with:

HostFile = open("hosts.txt", 'r')
for item in (x.strip() for x in HostFile):
    print "Connecting to device",item
    ..telnet and do other stuff here...

I must have typed something incorrectly previously :\

Thanks again

Gideon (aka Fatfingers)

that is surprising... i would be interested in hearing what problems you
are encountering while iterating through a file.  if you have any output
or problem description to share with us, that would be great.
what version of Python are you running?

cheers,
