I am reading in data from a text file. I want to enter each value on
the line into a list and retain the order of the elements. The number
of elements and spacing between them varies, but a typical line looks
like:
' SRCPARAM 1 6.35e-07 15.00 340.00 1.10 3.0 '
Why does the following not work:
line = ' SRCPARAM 1 6.35e-07 15.00 340.00 1.10 3.0 '
li = line.split(' ')
for j,i in enumerate(li):
if i == '':
li.remove(i)
After the original split I get:
['', '', '', 'SRCPARAM', '', '', '1', '6.35e-07', '15.00', '',
'340.00', '', '', '1.10', '', '', '', '', '', '3.0', '', '', '']
And after the for loop I get:
['SRCPARAM', '1', '6.35e-07', '15.00', '340.00', '1.10', '', '', '',
'3.0', '', '', '']
It doesn't remove all of the empty elements. Is there a better way to
split the original string? Or a way to catch all of the empty
elements?
Thanks
