target = []: ^ IndentationError: expected an indented block after 'if' statement on line 156

Question

Thats the code where the mistake is

if tool == ("11"):
target = []:

with open('freesec.txt','r') as f:
    for line in f:
        url = str(line.replace('\n',''))
        targets.append(url)

for url in targets:
    if 'http://' in url:
        url = url.replace('http://', '')
    elif 'https://' in url:
        url = url.replace('https://', '')
    url = 'http://' + url

    response = requests.get(url + "'").text
    if 'error' in response and 'syntax' in response or 'MySQL' in response:
        print 'Gotcha!!! ' + url
    else:
        print 'No luck here :( ' + url

Thats the image of my terminal when i was fixing the tool

which line is line 156? Also seems you are trying to use a list called `targets` but have created a list called `target` - one has an s at the end. — topsail, Oct 09 '22 at 13:05
okay well there's your indentation error (with the new line you just added it is clear now). So ... fix the indentation problem. — topsail, Oct 09 '22 at 13:07
Yes - you did. It is in the edit history of your question. You edited the question :) — topsail, Oct 09 '22 at 13:09
So i removed the : from line 156 and i got this ```File "/home/bx7/wtf.py", line 156 if tool == ("11") ^ SyntaxError: expected ':' ``` — Abdalmajid alawihi, Oct 09 '22 at 13:16
The suggestion was to remove the colon after `target = []:` Also you have an indentation problem on that line. It is not possible to provide an (obvious) correction because it is not clear what you want your if statement to do .... what is supposed to happen `if tool == ("11")` — topsail, Oct 09 '22 at 13:21

as per the error. You are missing the indentation.


# incorrect
if tool == ("11"):
target = []:

# correct
if tool == ("11"):
    target = []:

Reason: Python reqires indentation to recognise blocks of code.
