I am trying to basically get the data from keywords.txt and put it into a list. Then, if the user entered data in the form is not in the list, it gets written to the file and it will take the user to a certain webpage depending on if it is in the list or not. I essentially want the file to be just full of words with one word on a line but first I am just trying to get it to work. I am having trouble understand what variable the user entered data is if that makes any sense.\[code\]#!/usr/bin/env pythonimport cgiimport cgitbcgitb.enable()form = cgi.FieldStorage()keyword = form.getvalue('keyword')print 'Content-type: text/html\r\n\r'print '<html>'print '<h1>Please enter a keyword of your choice</h1>'print '<form action="results.cgi" method="post">'print 'Keyword: <input type="text" name="keyword"> <br />'print '<input type="submit" value="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13854353/Submit" />'print '</form>'print '</html>'keylist = []f = open('keywords.txt', 'rw')for each in f.readline(): keylist.append(each)if keyword in keylist: print 'Location: %s' % # my urlelse: f.write(keyword) f.close() print 'Location: %s' % # my second url\[/code\]
