python script error when writing to another file
i am trying to write a python script to get all the content in one file to be written to another file . but i am getting the below error . the code i am using is :
#!/user/bin/env python
with open('log.txt', 'r') as file:
line = file.read()
with open('/etc/snort/rules/test.rules' , 'w') as f2:
f2.write(line)
the error i get is :
in line 7
with open('/etc/snort/rules/test.rules' , 'w') as f2:
***IndentationError : expected an indented block***
Then you should indent the line
f2.write(line) as well as line = file.read(). Indentation is usually 4 spaces per level of (Hint: if a line ends in a colon :, then at least one line underneath it needs to be indented).– N Chauhan

f2.write(line)
line = file.read()

#!/user/bin/env python
with open('log.txt', 'r') as file:
line = file.read()
#### <-- the line above has 4 spaces worth of indentation.
with open('/etc/snort/rules/test.rules' , 'w') as f2:
f2.write(line)
I indented the lines under the 'with' statements by 4 spaces
@Sara mark this answer as correct if it has solved your issue. It makes the solution clearer to others and gives @N Chauhan credit for helping. Thanks :)

Python is indentation sensitive, everythng in your with statement should have a one-level indentation
