[sushant.sirsikar]

hi,
I am doing example of address book.when user enter stop and presses
enter my loop should stop.But there is some prob in my loop.It is
accepting \r after pressing Enter key.How do i check end of input :
addressbook={}
name = raw_input("Enter Name (stop to Finish)")

name = EnterAddress(addressbook)

ShowAddress(name, addressbook)

def ShowAddress(name, addressbook):
name = raw_input("Enter Name for Address ")
print "Address of %s is %s" %(name,addressbook[name])

def EnterAddress(addressbook):
while name != "stop":
entry = raw_input("Enter the address")
addressbook[name]=entry
name = raw_input("Enter Name (Leave blank to Finish)")
return name

thanks

Add 'name' to the arguments of EnterAddress, just as you correctly have
it in ShowAddress.
