so what i wanna do is that if my raw_input doesn't contain more than 6 chars i want it to print"blablabla" and then return to the same raw_input before the user typed in the password...
don't know if i should use some kind of loop or objects, i don't even know what to call this problem in english...


i'll give you some code so u know what i mean and i'll explain what i want to do with a picture so you really understand

here's some code...(im working with python and mySQL atm)

print '(maximum of 12 characters)'
User_id = raw_input('Enter Username: ')

print 'minimum of 6 characters)'
Password = raw_input('Enter Password: ')

if len(Password) < 6:
    print 'An Error occured! please Enter a Password with a minimum of 6 characters'
else:
    print 'Your account have been succesfully created!'

sooo... there's nothing wrong with this simple code (maybe need some improvements but not the point right now.)

when i run it and type in a password using i.e 5 chars, it still saves it to my DB, what i want is

if len(Password) < 6:

i want it to return to the top of my script (see picture for awsome paintskills and what i mean)

sorry if it's hard to understand, but it's hard to explain when i don't understand it myself...

You may have some usefull links or something to share with me, i'm not asking for a straight answer, just want to learn.

Peace

Hello! No Error But Don't Know How To Get This To Work!

This is a nonsense title, please take the time to think of something sensible. I'll amend it on this occasion.

Yes, you need a loop to repeat statements. You might start by studying for and while loops here at wikibooks. A while is probably sensible for your current task.

There is also a Tutorials link at the top of this page.

Please study then attempt to modify your code. If you struggle you can always come back for assistance.

Hi,

Start with a while loop, python does not have a do...while, so you should use a logic to run the loop indefinitely and exit the loop when you reach your condition with in the loop.

Give a try, if you couldn't find, please post back.

Happy coding!
