For loop problem!

jsulm

@monamour If the first if is true you do return
Also both if conditions are identical - what's the point?

monamour

@jsulm "The first if" should execute when the LINEDIT is blank. " The second if" will execute when the LINEDIT is NOT blank.

jsulm

@monamour Looks like you edited the code, because before both if were identical.
Actually you can do it like this:

if proc.name() not in x:
                QMessageBox.information(self,"Error",'Blank!')
                return

else:
                proc.kill()
                QMessageBox.information(self, "Success", x2 +"has been terminated"
                return

monamour

@jsulm Yes, I edited the code. It is same, not solved.

jsulm

@monamour Did you check what x is and what proc.name is? Just print out both and see.

monamour

@jsulm

1- proc.name after "IF CONDITIONS"

input

print(x)
print(proc.name())

Output

notepad.exe
notepad.exe

2-The full proc.name after "FOR LOOP"

input

print(proc.name())

output

System Idle Process

@monamour Maybe both strings use different encodings?

monamour

@jsulm Means? because both of them are strings.

monamour

@jsulm If I make two for loops, it will work. What is the common sense in this ?

jsulm

@monamour said in For loop problem!:

Means? because both of them are strings

I mean different string encodings like Latin1, UTF-8, ...
Can you try to print out type(x) and type(proc.name())?
"If I make two for loops, it will work. What is the common sense in this ?" - I don't know what you mean.

for proc in psutil.process_iter():
            if proc.name()==x:
                proc.kill()
                QMessageBox.information(self, "Success", x2 +"has been terminated")
                return

 for proc in psutil.process_iter():
             if proc.name()!=x:
                 QMessageBox.information(self, "Error","The process " +x2 + " is not found")
                 return
