Python Programming problem.

**jnLink** · September 27th, 2012

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
print "=======jnLink v.1.0======="
x=raw_input('User name: ')
y=raw_input('Password: ')
if x=='Jon' and y=='turtles21':
    print "Logged On, Welcome Jonathan Nunamaker."
else:
    print "logon failed"
    c=1
    while c <10:
        print "Logon Failed"

"actual coding"

Code:

start=raw_input("EF to edit file: ")
if start=='EF':
    filedestination=raw_input('File name please? ')
    editorwrite=raw_input('Edit or Read this file? (r to read and w to write. )')
    fob=open('/home/jon/My Cheat Tables/computer/' + filedestination, editorwrite)
    if editorwrite== 'q':
        print "Main Menu: "
    if editorwrite== 'w':
        fob.write(raw_input('Your file is open: '))
        fob.close()
    if editorwrite== 'r':
         print "=======file======="
         print fob.read()
         print "=======file======="
         closeorjump=raw_input('type c to exit to main menu: ')
         if closeorjump== 'c':
             fob.close()

==========================================
I have this; I need to have it go back to main menu after the end of each if statement. Any ideas? Please?

Thread moved to Programming Talk.

I've addded "code" tags ([code] and [/code]) which can help with readability

What you want is a loop. A while loop would probably be a good choice.

And use functions to help you divide your code into logical sections.

For capturing the password on the command line you might want to consider using the python getpass library as well:

Code:

from getpass import getpass

name = raw_input("Username: ")
pswd = getpass("Password: ")

print "\nResults:"
print "name: %s \npass: %s" % (name, pswd)
