This if my first time asking a question here so please forgive me for any mistakes.
So my problem is when I run my program it works fine. But as soon as I click Search the program closes.
I use self.pushButton_5.cicked.connect(run) to call on a function that runs:
openfile = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self) # Filename line
f = open(openfile, 'r') # New line
data = f.read()
and this is what causes my program to close. If I replace this with print('Hello') it works fine.
I am using Qt Creator to make the GUI and modifying it using Pycharm. I'm Running PyQt5 on windows 7 using Python 3.5. I'm very new to this (4-5 hours tops) however I have been using python in school for the full year (still very basic but I have an okay understanding). This if for a class project that makes up a large portion of the end of year marks.
My full code is below:
