Guys thanks for your previous help .I have a doubt again
My text file is :-
0\9\10\11|0.50|c:\windows\apppatch/AcLayers.dll
...
now this is what happens
>>> x=open("c:\\test2.txt","rb")
>>> x.readline()
'\n' ---? i am not able to understand why is new line character
returned here
Either because your text file starts with a blank line or because
.readline does not work when you open in binary mode. In any case, you
should probably change 'rb' to 'r'.
>>> l =x.readline()
>>> print l
Also , because of this i am not able to extract the floating point
values ie 0.50,0.50,0.66 respectively
cause when i use the proposed solution given earlier
data=[]
for line in x:
line=line.split("|")
data.append(float(line[-2])) --> i am trying to get the floating
point values from the back
i receive this error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#71>", line 3, in <module>
d.append(float(line[-2]))
IndexError: list index out of range
If you have a blank line, splitting returns a list of length 0 or 1, so
there is no -2 element. Add something like
if len(line) < 2: raise SomeError(message)
after the split. If you should always have 3 parts, check '==3' and
index to line[1].
