Simple Function Call - PappaBear - Apr-04-2017
Complete Noob to programming. With that out of the way, Going into the function does not appear to be happening.
I put a print statement in the "if then" to verify my condition was in fact matching (it is, 35 times).
I commented out that print statement; I then commented out all the function, and added a very simple print statement.
I get zero output within the function.
Would love to know what I'm missing.
Many Thanks,
PappaBear

def found_new_address_object():
print ("Now in Function")
# commented out conversion steps
# writing out to a new file, etc

print ("Starting for loop")
for counter in range(len(original_lines)):
if addressword in original_lines[counter]:
#print ("yes on if statement")

Not sure what you are doing, but you don't appear to be calling your function at all; you need parenthesis after it like
some_func() even if the function takes no arguments. Also you need to keep indentation when posting.>>> def some_func(some_arg):
... print("In function with argument '{}'".format(some_arg))
...
>>> some_func(135)
In function with argument '135'
>>> some_func("spam")
In function with argument 'spam'
>>> some_func([1,2,3])
In function with argument '[1, 2, 3]'
>>>

that was it -- I was missing the () when calling the function.. Huge thanks for the quick reply.
