7.2 Write a program that prompts for a file name, then opens that file and reads through the file, looking for lines of the form: X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.8475 Count these lines and extract the floating point values from each of the lines and compute the average of those values and produce an output as shown below. Do not use the sum() function or …

hello everyone please help me with this error

you missed continue (if line)

fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")
fh = open(fname)
count = 0
total = 0
for line in fh:
if not line.startswith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:") : continue
t=line.find("0")
number= float(line[t:])
count = count + 1
total = total + number

average = total/count

print ("Average spam confidence:",average)fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")
fh = open(fname)
count = 0
total = 0
for line in fh:
if not line.startswith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:") : continue
t=line.find("0")
number= float(line[t:])
count = count + 1
total = total + number

average = total/count

print ("Average spam confidence:",average)

Use the file name mbox-short.txt as the file name

file_name = input("Enter file name: ")

try:
file_handle = open(file_name,"r")
except:
print("File Does not Exist!")

count = 0
total_num = 0

for line in file_handle:

if not line.startswith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:"):
    continue
#print(line)

count +=1
#print(count)

space_position = line.find(" ")
#print(space_position)

num = float(line[space_position:])
#print(num)

total_num = total_num + num
#print(total_num)

print("Average spam confidence:", total_num/count)

Use the file name mbox-short.txt as the file name

fname = input("Enter file name: ")
fh = open(fname)
count = 0
total = 0
for line in fh:
if not line.startswith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:"):continue
c=float((line[line.find("0"):]))

count = count + 1
total = total + c

print("Average spam confidence:", total/count)

guys use this:
fname = input("Enter file name: ")
fh = open(fname)
count = 0
total = 0
for line in fh:
if line.startswith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:"):
t = line.find('0')
number = float(line[t:])
count = count + 1
total = total + number
else:
continue
average = total/count
print("Average spam confidence:", average)
