The problem I am getting is that the file I'm reading, searching, deleting does not exist on the "grocery_note". the code that I need to fix is the .csv file that cannot locate on the computer.
Here is my code:

How to delete an indicated line in txt file with usage of DELETE Function in Python

I am a student and have a task to create a contact book with usage of oop, functions, txt file , import os.
I just decided to create a book with usage of functions and txt file.
And ...I have faced with some problem of deleting the indicated line (record) in txt file. I have tried many variations of how to do it. Result: delete an all information in the file or just last line, or simply read file and thats all. All I need is to delete a record as per indicated input(word/name).
my tutor edvised me to use a del function :
if each_contact.name==name:
del list_contacts[i]
but i have no idea how to use this function at all. What the logic should be?
my code is like:
def del_contact_name():
## It should delete the required line as per name if txt file
del_name=input('Enter first name for delete this contact record: ')
del_name=del_name.title()
with open(file_name, "r") as f:
file_delete = f.readlines()
with open(file_name, "w") as f:
for line in file_delete:
if line != del_name:
f.write(line)
print("Your Required Contact Record is deleted:", end=" ")
break
and this is just delete only last line if I write a 3 lines of records ( it works, but i need another result). If I do an one record it will not delete but read the line.
The full work looks like this:
file_name = "phonebook.txt"
filerec = open(file_name, "a+")
filerec.close

Thank you all! I can not figure this out, this is for my Programming Essentials class. The only reason I am reaching out is because I have combed through the code and the literature from class and I can not figure out why this is not working.

The class teamClass has no function displayData() you are calling printTeam() from your menu-screen with a dictionary of teamClass-objects:
def printTeam(team):
if len(team) == 0:
print("No team members in memory.")
else:
for x in team.keys():
displayData(team[x]) # not team.displayData() - thats a class method call
In case you want to make it a class method you need to indent it and give it a first param of self but then other parts of your code need to be adjusted as the method currently is not fit to be a class-function.
I corrected all errors that hindered you from running this. The fixes are minimal effort on my side and lots of stuff could be made neater - ask on codereview for that. Look / ggogle / search SO for python csv - thats better for reading/writing csv data then what you did manually.

Why wont my code load properly?

In class we have to create a save/load function utilizing the split() method for a class and dictionary. I managed to get the save function working, but the load function does not seem to want to work for me. I either get it almost working but the saved file does not load, or i get the error

savedata (players)
elif menu_choice == '6':
loaddata ()
menu_choice = displayMenu()
print("Updating roster Goodbye:")

Remove players = {} from your loaddata function, and it'll load properly.
If you actually want to reset the contents of the dictionary when loading (which might have been your intent, although I would say that's a questionable design decision), you can do:
def loaddata():
global players
players = {}
...
This is because any variables you write to are assumed to be local variables (as in, local to the function) unless you say otherwise.
I might be overlooking something, but I'm not seeing anything that attempts to read a player attribute from any object, so I'm not sure where the error is coming from. Was it from a different version of this code? Or, if it is the posted version that has that error, can you provide exactly what series of inputs lead to the error?
The rest of this answer isn't directly relevant to your question, just some tips based on things I noticed in your code.
I would remove the:
name = ""
phone = ""
jersey = ""
Because you set them in __init__ and so they're redundant and not doing anything. For looping over lines in files, you can use a for loop, which is more readable than while loops. Example:
for line in infile:
print(line)
And you should look into with. It's another type of block, and they're very useful when working with files because they'll automatically close the file when the block ends, so you don't have to. As an example:
with open("foo", "r") as stream:
for line in stream:
print(line)
# stream got implicitly closed because the block ended

How to search and store the line number of which in the data was found? (Python)

I am currently developing a program for my local charity and would like to ask how to get the program to
1) Search a notepad file for a specific Word(s)
2) Store which line that the name was found on
My code so far :
import time
def AddToDatabase():
print ("\nYou are adding to the Database. \nA)Continue \nB)Go Back")
ATD = input(": ")
if ATD == "A" or ATD == "a":
Name = input("\nEnter Name of Member [First Name and Surname]: ")
with open("Name.txt", "a") as N:
N.write("\n{}".format(Name))
time.sleep(1)
print ("\nAdding...")
time.sleep(1)
print ("\nEnter Address of "+Name+" all on one line")
print ("In format [Include Commas]")
print ("\nRoad name with house number [e.g. 1 Morgan Way], Borough [e.g Harrow], City [e.g London], Postcode [e.g. HA5 2EF]")
Address = input("\n: ")
with open("Address.txt", "a") as A:
A.write("\n{}".format(Address))
time.sleep(1)
print ("\nAdding...")
time.sleep(1)
Home_Number = input("\nEnter Home Number of "+Name+": ")
with open("Home Number.txt", "a") as HN:
HN.write("\n{}".format(Home_Number))
time.sleep(1)
print ("\nAdding...")
time.sleep(1)
Mobile_Number = input ("\nEnter Mobile Number of "+Name+": ")
with open("Mobile Number.txt", "a") as MN:
MN.write("\n{}".format(Mobile_Number))
time.sleep(1)
print ("\nAdding...")
time.sleep(1)
Email_Address = input ("\nEnter Email Address of "+Name+": ")
with open("Email Address.txt", "a") as EA:
EA.write("\n{}".format(Email_Address))
time.sleep(1)
print ("\nAdding...")
time.sleep(1)
Dietry_Needs = input("\nEnter Medical/Dietry Needs of "+Name+": ")
with open("Medical Dietry Needs.txt", "a") as MDN:
MDN.write("\n{}".format(Dietry_Needs))
time.sleep(1)
print ("\nAdding...")
time.sleep(1)
print ("All information for "+Name+" has been added. Redirecting Back To Main...")
time.sleep(5)
Main()
elif ATD == "B" or ATD == "b":
Main()
def CheckDatabase():
print ("\nSPACE SAVED")
def Main():
print ("\nSVA of UK Database")
while True:
print ("\nA)Check Database \nB)Add to Database \nC)Exit Program")
choice = input(": ")
if choice == "A" or choice == "a":
CheckDatabase()
elif choice == "B" or choice == "b":
AddToDatabase()
elif choice == "C" or choice == "c":
break
else:
print ("Invalid Input")

How would try to search for example 'John Smith' in a txt file and store which line that name was found on? I know i may have maybe come across confusing but if you don't get it then please leave a comment and ill answer what you dont get! Thanks in advance!

Pretty basic...
found_line = None
with open(filename) as f:
pattern = "john smith"
for i, line in enumerate(f):
if pattern in line:
found_line = i
print "Found %s in %i" % (pattern, i)
