Hello, I am attempting to write my first Python script to extract some information from a file, and place it into another file. (I am trying to find the physical postions of 4 cells within an FPGA) I have a working solution, and would appreciate any comments.
for line in lines: if "placed" in line: if "i_a/i_b/ROM/" in line: pos = (line.split()[4]).split("_")[1] if "B18" in line: print " i_a/i_b/ROM/B18 [7:6] LOC =", pos elif "B14" in line: print " i_a/i_b/ROM/B14 [5:4] LOC =", pos elif "B10" in line: print " i_a/i_b/ROM/B10 [3:2] LOC =", pos elif "B6" in line: print " i_a/i_b/ROM/B6 [1:0] LOC =", pos else: print "Error" Specific questions - Use for "Phrase" in line or line.find("Phrase") >= 0 ? - If I increase number of elements I am searching for, then I have more elif...elif. Is there a cleaner solution? Thanks for any feedback. Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
