Recently dove into Python and wanted to share the fun!

 

Playing with the Chuck Norris API and writing chuck quotes to a file:

import requests

URL = 'https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random'
outFile = 'chucknorris.html'


open(outFile, 'w').close()
with open(outFile,'a') as o:
    for i in range(1000):
        json_response = requests.get(URL).json()
        o.write('<h4>' + json_response['value'] + '</h4>\n')
        print(json_response['value'])

 

Surrounding each line in a file with single quotes:

Execute with python3 surroundcontent.py input.txt output.txt

import sys
import re


def manipulate_line(in_line):
    res = re.sub(r"(.+)", r"'\g<0>',", in_line)
    return res


if __name__ == '__main__':

    inFile = sys.argv[1]
    outFile = sys.argv[2]

    with open(inFile, 'r') as inf, open(outFile, 'w') as outf:
        for line in inf:
            res = manipulate_line(line)
            outf.write("'%s'\n" % line.rstrip('\n'))
