I have a file with data. The file is the output generated from a shell scripting file:
|a |869 |
|b |835 |
|c |0 |
|d |0 |
|e |34 |
|f |3337
How can I get a = 869 from this?
You could do this:
output = {}
for line in open("myfile"):
parts = line.split('|')
output[parts[1].strip()] = parts[2].strip()
print output['a'] // prints 869
print output['f'] // prints 3337
Or, using the csv module, as suggested by Eugene Morozov:
import csv
output = {}
reader = csv.reader(open("C:/output.txt"), delimiter='|')
for line in reader:
output[line[1].strip()] = line[2].strip()
print output['a'] // prints 869
print output['f'] // prints 3337
lines = file("test.txt").readlines()
d = dict([[i.strip() for i in l.split("|")[1:3]] for l in lines if l.strip()])
For example:
>>> lines = file("test.txt").readlines()
>>> d = dict([[i.strip() for i in l.split("|")[1:3]] for l in lines if l.strip()])
>>> d['a']
'869'
You can also use csv module with delimiter |.
Maybe not the most Pythonic way, but this should work if your shell output is stored in f.txt and you are looking for every line to be processed:
h = open("f.txt", "rt")
inp = h.readline()
while inp:
flds = inp.split('|')
str = flds[1].strip() + " = " + flds[2].strip()
print str
inp = h.readline()
