Python Issue

the_Grinch

We are doing some open source information gathering and wanted to automate the process. I found the script below and it worked without issue yesterday. I go to run it today and am getting the following error:

For the life of me I cannot figure out what the issue is.

The error indicates to me index out of range for an array. If there are 2 elements in an array, you have element [0] and element [1]. Trying to access index [2] will throw an exception.

Line 2030 of your code is: options(sys.argv) Are you able to examine the sys.argv object to ensure it contains the data you require? That's probably where I would start.

How could I go about examining the sys.argv?

I've taken to writing my own script so I can follow and to pull out the parts that actually matter to me (there's a lot in there I don't need). So far so good! Got it to login to Facebook and do the searches I need. Next will be to scroll through the friends list, then download as html, remove the tags, and then import the data to SQLite

It's a list.

for item in sys.argv:
    Print item
