i have a text file with following data: deric, robert, mathew,
Now, i want the user to input a string and then compare that string with the text file..
fo = open("d:\\ar.txt", "r")
file_contents = fo.read()
print('Enter your password.')
typedPassword = input()
for i in file_contents:
if typedPassword == file_contents:
print('Access granted')
else:
print('Access denied')
However, this doesn't seem to work. any thoughts?
Try this:-
fo = open("poopy.txt", "r")
file_contents = fo.read()
print('Enter your password.')
typedPassword = input()
Flag = 0
for i in file_contents.split('\n'):
if typedPassword == i:
Flag = 1
if Flag == 1:
print('Access Granted')
else:
print('Access Denied')
You were checking if the inputted password maches the whole file... This checks each line
username = input("Input your username")
password = input("Input your password")
correct = None
with open("d:\\ar.txt", "r") as file:
for line in file:
line = line.split(",")
if username == line[0] and password == line[1]:
correct = True
if correct:
print("") # placeholder
#(logged in code)
for this to work your file should be of the fornat
username,password,
username,password,
username,password,
