Hi all I have a file that I receive from another party which is basicly a csv file containing the following type of information;
Tagname Scope Value "first_name","POL01","John" "last_name","POL01","Doe" "birthday","POL01","04/03/61" etc I need to convert this file info into my file format used in my application. I have been given a file from the other company that gives me all of the tagname that could be used and their scope. I want to build a table which would have all of the various tagnames, scope, and put a fieldname equivalent in the fieldname in my file structure in my application. Then read through the vendors csv file index into my table file and get the field name of where to move the data into my data structure. Here is my question? basicly I need to get the data referenced by fieldname variable in my table and then use that data as a variable name in a python assignment statement. Thus changing the actual python code at each iteration through the lines in the csv file. for i in tagfile find tagname in tagtable *** the following line of code would change through each iteration *** myfirst = value *** next iteration mylast = value *** next iteration mybirth = value etc I hope this make sense. I remember seeing something like this somewhere. Any help appreciated. Len Sumnler Unique Insurance -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
