Which output file(s) do you mean, temp.orc or temp.sco or both?
Two possible causes outlined below.
I am also looking for an example
of readlines where I can choose a number of lines say lines 12 to 14
and then write them back to disk.
To the same file? There was a long thread on updating text files very
recently.
any help would be apreaceted.
Have you considered deploying a spelling checker?
import sys as sys2
import os as os2
Why the obfuscation?
def playscoreinrange(from_file, fromline, toline):
"untested way to play a series of lines from a orc, sco combination
line 14 may not be correct"
and which is line 14?? According to my count, it is the blank line
after "outfile2 = open('temp.orc', 'w') "!!
print(from_file)
fromfile = os2.path.basename(from_file)
print(fromfile)
orcfilename = fromfile[:-4] + '.orc'
print(orcfilename)
infile2 = open(orcfilename, 'r')
outfile2 = open('temp.orc', 'w')
for line in infile2:
outfile2.write(line)
infile = open(fromfile, 'r')
infile is not used
outfile = open('temp.sco','w')
data = sys2.stdin.readlines()
print(data)
and how many lines were there in data when you printed it?
for linenumber in range(fromline, toline):
Consider the possibility that fromline >= toline (which may be caused
by either or both not being of a numerical type).
Did you mean range(fromline, toline + 1) ?
do this:
print repr(fromline), type(fromline)
print repr(toline), type(toline)
BTW, print is a *statement*, not a function!
outfile.writeline(data[linenumber])
outfile.writeline() ???

So, the body of your loop wasn't executed (or you overlooked the
exception, or that wasn't the code that was executed) -- so it looks
like the range was empty (or the problem occurred further upstream).

os2.startfile('temp.bat')
and what does this do?? Read temp.orc and/or temp.sco before you've
closed the file(s)?
Where is the code that was used to call this playscoreinrange function?
HTH,
John
temp bat is
csound temp.orc temp.sco
and it plays the new files I can try closing the other files first. I
am sure the readlines code is crashing it. Because I have moved it
befour the code that is reading a line at a time and it would not even
write the second zero byte file. The comment line is an old line that
I did not update when I made changes. The code that calls it was
auto-generated but boa-constructer .44 (I haven't updated it yet).
