Hi,
I'm pretty new to Python, to programming overall...so how would I
make something where the user inputs multiple words in a string - like
"connect 123.123.123.123 21 user password" or similar, and then I can
split this string up to pass these arguments to a function like
ftp_connect(ip, port, user, pw) etc...? I have no idea how to "break"
the string up so I can get these out of it..
thanks for answers,
munin
Ok well this is pretty basic but it sounds wrong on some level.
Maybe you should post some code, you will get better responses.
You could try something like:
Py>stuff = "connect 123.123.123.123 21 user password"
Py>parts_list = stuff.split()# can handle other seperators
Py>print parts_list
['connect', '123.123.123.123', '21', 'user', 'password']
Py>def StrFtp(userinfo):
.... parts = userinfo.slpit()
.... funktion, ip, port, usedr, pw = parts
.... funktion = funktion.lower()
.... if funktion == 'connect'
.... return ftp_connect(ip, port, user, pw)
.... elif funktion == 'other_function_name_here':
.... return 'your other action here'
.... else:
.... return None
Py>ftpconnect = StrFtp("connect 123.123.123.123 21 user password")
Also add asserts and error checking all through the code for malformed
input.
