Reads each line from the file and supply it to the employee function

12347 10000 secretary James Harrison

Hi, lets just say that the text above is a text file. I would like to open the file whose name is supplied, reads each line from the file and supplies it to the employee-creation function, storing the results returned by this function in a list.

Im getting errors such as:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Ken\Desktop\Uni Work\Programming\Assignment 2\ex1.py", line 22, in <module>
    newEmployee(myLines)
  File "C:\Users\Ken\Desktop\Uni Work\Programming\Assignment 2\ex1.py", line 9, in newEmployee
    list = myLines.split(" ")
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split'

Below is the code that ive got, any help?

f = open("A text file", "r");
print(f.read())
print(f.readline())
myLines = f.readlines()
for line in myLines:
    print(line)

def newEmployee(s):
     list = myLines.split(" ")
     number = int(list[0])
     salary = int(list[1])
     jobTitle = list[2]
     name = list[3]
     surname = list[4]
     print(number, salary, jobTitle, name, surname)

def __str__(self):

    return format(self.payroll, "d") + format(self.salary, "d") + ' ' \
          + self.jobtitle + self.name  + self.surname

newEmployee(myLines)

class Employee:
      def __init__(self, number, salary, jobTitle, name, surname):
          self.number = number
          self.salary = salary
          self.jobTitle = jobTitle
          self.name = name
          self.surname = surname
