Hello, I have a data file (data.csv) that is something like this:
data, Conductor, ACSR data, diameter, 0.02862 data, cross-section, 0.0004845 data, weight, 1.621 data, Mod, 7000000000 data, Uts, 13450 data, Coef, 0.0000193 data, Cr, 20 data, span, 350 data, Wind pres, 0 data, temp, 32 data, ten, 3326 cond, Final wind press, 0, Final temp, 4 cond, Final wind press, 30, Final temp, 4 cond, Final wind press, 45, Final temp, 32 cond, Final wind press, 0, Final temp, 64 section, 234, 267, 289, 197 I need to to extract the third element from the rows with 'data' as the first element, the third and fifth element from the rows with 'cond' as the first element and all the elements following the 'section' element in the rows with 'section' as the first element. here is the code used to extract the data: import csv keys = ["type", "d", "x", "c", "m", "u", "a", "tcr", "s", "wi", "ti", "Ti"] values = [] wind = [] temp = [] sec = [] reader = csv.reader(open("data.csv", "rb")) for row in reader: if row[0] == 'data': values.append(row[2]) if row[0] == 'cond': wind.append(row[2]), temp.append(row[4]) if row[0] == 'section': sec = row[1:] inputs = dict(zip(keys, values)) conditions = dict(zip(wind, temp)) condition = tuple(conditions.items()) print inputs, condition, sec What I can't understand here is why the 1st row with 'cond' data and 1st element with 'section' data being skipped. What is the fix? thanks in advance, -- amaity -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
