nested for loop
- by Gary
Hello,
Just learning Python and trying to do a nested for loop. What I'd like to do in the end is place a bunch of email addresses in a file and have this script find the info, like the sending IP of mail ID. For now i'm testing it on my /var/log/auth.log file
Here is my code so far:
#!/usr/bin/python
# this section puts emails from file(SpamEmail) in to a array(array)
in_file = open("testFile", "r")
array = in_file.readlines()
in_file.close()
# this section opens and reads the target file, in this case 'auth.log'
log = open("/var/log/auth.log", "r")
auth = log.readlines()
for email in array:
print "Searching for " +email,
for line in auth:
if line.find(email) > -1:
about = line.split()
print about[0],
print
Inside 'testfile' I have the word 'disconnect' cause I know it's in the auth.log file. It just doesn't find the word 'disconnect'. In the line of "if line.find(email) -1:" i can replace email and put "disconnect" the scripts finds it fine.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Gary
