can you show what the line looks like?
topaz onyx
can you show what the `line` looks like?
with open('contact.txt') as f:
for line in f:
formal adder
that doesn't tell us what line looks like
topaz onyx
that doesn't tell us what line looks like
read_contact_list = []
def get_user_from_file():
with open('contact.txt') as f:
for line in f:
inner_list = [elt.strip() for elt in line.split(',')]
read_contact_list.append(inner_list)
print(inner_list[1])
this is the fullt code
and this is a sample of what in contact.txt
['radin', 'anti', '0999335', 17, 'male', 'LA']

Where did this data come from? Did you write this list to a file?
topaz onyx
Where did this data come from? Did you write this list to a file?
yes its in file
formal adder
yes, but it's odd to have python list structure in a text file
did you write the code that created that file?
topaz onyx
did you write the code that created that file?
yes
def create_user_to_file(first_name: str, last_name: str, phone_number: str, age: int, gender: str, city: str):
file_text = open("contact.txt", "a")
file_text.write(first_name,last_name,phone_number,age,gender,city,"\n")
file_text.close()
return first_name,last_name,phone_number,age,gender,city
this is the code
i want to create it as a list to call the first_name or last_name
formal adder
I would not write a list to a file like you are doing
file_text.write(first_name,last_name,phone_number,age,gender,city,"\n")
This should be an error
write only takes 1 string argument
topaz onyx
I would not write a list to a file like you are doing
so which way you recommend ?
formal adder
well it's hard to say because the code you're sharing would error, so I don't actually know what you're doing
but basically the issue is you've stored the data in a txt file in a way you shouldn't have, and now you're trying to clean it up when you read the file, instead of not creating a problem with the txt file in the first place

i saw it in stackoverflow
i can delete it
but can you tell me the logic to create a new ?
formal adder
file_text.write(f'{first_name},{last_name},{phone_number},{age},{gender},{city}\n')
you can write it as an f-string like so
topaz onyx
you can write it as an f-string like so
ooo lemme try

Are you sure what you saw on Stack Overflow wasn't
print(first_name,last_name,phone_number,age,gender,city,"\n", file=file_text)
?

ahh good call!
edgy cliff
ahh good call!
I only suggest that because I've seen this confusion before.
More than once actually.
