Question

Here is my code:

for line in open(logfile):
        if "ESSID" in line:
            begin = line.replace(" ", "")
            mid = begin.replace("ESSID:", "")
            final = mid.replace('"', "")
            print final
            self.APList.SetStringItem(self.index, 0, final)
            line = open(ilogfile).readline()
            if begin in line:
                connect = "yes"
            else:
                connect = "no"
            self.APList.SetStringItem(self.index, 3, connect)  

here is the file it’s scanning (well, one of them.):

wlp2s0    IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"MomAndKids"

The main code I’m trying to test:

line = open(ilogfile).readline()
            if begin in line:
                connect = "yes"
            else:
                connect = "no"

I’ve tried using “final” instead of “begin” and reading the whole file instead of the first line (using both “final” and “begin” variables.) Neither worked. Why is this not working?

Edit: The indentation is only broken in stackoverflow, not in the actual code.

Edit 2: The other file contains this:

The relevant portion is at the top of that file.

Answer 1

The following seemed to work fine:

line = open(ilogfile).readline()

if final.strip() in line.strip():
    connect = "yes"
else:
    connect = "no"
