I want to parse a file and do this :
A 74.335 -86.474-129.317 1.00 54.12
then add space between -86.474 and -129.317. I can get the file with
A 74.335 -86.474 -129.317 1.00 54.12
How can I do this? Thanks.
Is there something wrong with the following?
for line in file('in.txt'):
line = line.replace('-', ' -')
do_something(line)
calling line.split() on it will work the same way. If not, you
can use the regexp module to insert spaces between "a digit
immediately followed by a dash":
>>> s = "A 74.335 -86.474-129.317 1.00 54.12"
>>> s.replace('-', ' -')
'A 74.335 -86.474 -129.317 1.00 54.12'
>>> import re
>>> r = re.compile(r'(\d)-')
>>> r.sub(r'\1 -', s)
'A 74.335 -86.474 -129.317 1.00 54.12'
