I don't understand the error - MasterGame - Jul-18-2018
I'm a Python 2 user and made a code to filter out the vowels in a phrase. This is the code:
filtered_phrase=open("vowel_filter.txt", "w")
filtered_phrase_2=open("vowel_filter.txt", "r")
vowel_filter=raw_input("Enter text: ")
for char in vowel_filter:
if char=="a" or char=="A" or char=="e" or char=="E" or char=="i" or char=="I" or char=="o" or char=="O" or char=="u" or char=="U":
pass
else:
filtered_phrase.write(char)
new_phrase=filtered_phrase_2.read()
print new_phrase
filtered_phrase.close()
filtered_phrase_2.close()The weird part is, when I open vowel_filter.txt (the file that contains the altered phrase) the expected phrase is there, but when I attempt to read and print the file, it won't print anything. (I indented correctly the post just doesn't save the format)

You have to close the file first and then open it again to read.
Try this:
filtered_phrase = open("file1.txt", "w")
vowel_filter = raw_input("Enter text: ")
for char in vowel_filter:
if char == "a" or char == "A" or char == "e" or char == "E" or char == "i" or char == "I" or char == "o" or char == "O" or char == "u" or char == "U":
pass
else:
filtered_phrase.write(char)
filtered_phrase.close()
filtered_phrase_2 = open("file1.txt", "r")
new_phrase = filtered_phrase_2.read()
filtered_phrase_2.close()
print new_phrase
