Learn Python: Ep.10 - Reading From Files & Breaking Loops
Today we're breaking out of our Python lists and learning how to code our brute-force app to read from dictionary files. Now we're playing with power!
Here we will take a bit more input from the user by prompting them for our username and password dictionary files. (we also learn a bit about relative and absolute paths)
Then we learn the difference between read(), readline(), and readlines() which turns out is quite useful knowledge.
Next, we test our changes and discover an issue that we fix with split() and break.
Finally, we see me make a few typos when testing, but we ultimately end with a successful run!
