Basic Python ask user to continue or exit

In a user interactive program there are times that a program might need to ask the user to proceed or exit to determine whether the program needs to continue or not.
For this a prompt is necessary, and ask a user to decide and press some keys and depending on the user input, it will determine whether the code or program will continue running or not.
Below is a simple Python code that will ask a user to press y or n.
The code only shows how to detect the key that was pressed, of course the logic or the code can be inserted to other existing Python codes.

Python code snippet, works in Python 3:

import sys

print("Make a choice press [y] to continue else [n] to exit")
proceed_or_exit = input()

if proceed_or_exit == 'y' or proceed_or_exit == 'Y':
   print("Y was pressed")
   #put some code here
   pass
elif proceed_or_exit == 'n' or proceed_or_exit == 'N':
   print("N was pressed")
   #put some code here if necessary
   sys.exit()



Try this code, and see what's the difference. Code below will only accept Y,y, N or n.

import sys

while True:

 print("Make a choice press [y] to continue else [n] to exit")
 proceed_or_exit = input()

 if proceed_or_exit == 'y' or proceed_or_exit == 'Y':
    print("Y was pressed")
    #put some code here if necessary
    pass
 elif proceed_or_exit == 'n' or proceed_or_exit == 'N':
    print("N was pressed")
    #put some code here if necessary
    sys.exit()
 else:
    print("Invalid input. Please enter 'y' or 'n'.")
    







Romans 12:12 ~ Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
All things passes away, be gentle and be patient in whatever situation you are in. Have faith, be strong.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

PowerShell Match Drive Letter to Volume ID in AWS

Matching AWS volume ID to its corresponding Windows drive letter is an easy task using PowerShell. Win32_DiskDrive holds the info for the volume-ID. Here’s the script, below enjoy 😊 $get_disks = gwmi -query "SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive" ForEach ( $disk in $get_disks ){         $get_partitions = gwmi -query "ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_DiskDrive.DeviceID=' $( $disk . DeviceID) '} WHERE AssocClass = Win32_DiskDriveToDiskPartition"     ForEach ( $partition in $get_partitions ){         $get_logicaldisks = gwmi -query "ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_DiskPartition.DeviceID=' $( $partition . DeviceID) '} WHERE AssocClass = Win32_LogicalDiskToPartition"          ForEach ( $logicaldisk in $get_logicaldisks ){         $insert_the_dash = ( $disk . SerialNumber) .

Delete Directories with Wildcards using rd or rmdir

  Deleting files in command prompt using wildcards is quite straight forward. Command below will delete all text (".txt") files on the specified path.      Del D:\txtlog\*.txt Command above will delete all files with ".txt" extension in d:\txtlog directory. Easy enough to delete all matching files. Using the same method with rmdir or rd command this will not work. For example, if we have a directory on d drive that is auto-generated by an application and the filename is consistent with a pattern plus incrementing number at the end to differentiate the folder from other folders.    D:\baklogs\log1\    D:\baklogs\log2\    D:\baklogs\log3\    Etc..    D:\baklogs\log100\ The folder name has a consistent pattern that is preceded by the word “log” plus incrementing number. If the command below is executed to remove the directories in one go, an error is shown which h...
