Hello python-list, This is my first post and yes I am a python newbie :-)
I've been trying to figure out how to convert an old database dump into a form that can be imported into Postgresql. The file (dealing with one table) looks something like this: create table table1 (id int, name char(20), agw_map char(14), agw real) id 1 11 name 13 32 agw 34 47 6195 000036_00195 26.728 6188 000036_00188 31.905 6217 000036_00223 19.644 6078 000036_00024 38.055 6079 000036_00025 37.678 6080 000036_00027 40.03 6081 000036_00028 38.884 6082 000036_00030 43.616 6083 000036_00032 46.548 6084 000036_00033 48.593 6085 000036_00036 53.764 ****** End of Table ****** In C I could build a format string (using info from the table create statement and the column position in the header) and use scanf to parse this file. What does the Python solution looks like? Thanks in advance. Bob
