Hi, I have two large files:
FileA 15 ALA H = 8.05 N = 119.31 CA = 52.18 HA = 4.52 C = 21 ALA H = 7.66 N = 123.58 CA = 54.33 HA = C = 179.35 23 ALA H = 8.78 N = CA = HA = C = 179.93................. and FileB 21 ALA helix (helix_alpha, helix2) 23 ALA helix (helix_alpha, helix3) 38 ALA helix (helix_alpha, helix3)........... now what i want that i will make another file in which i will join the two file in such a way that only matching entries will come like here 21 and 23 ALA is in both files, so the output will be something like:- 21 ALA H = 7.66 N = 123.58 CA = 54.33 HA = C = 179.35| 21 ALA helix (helix_alpha, helix2) 23 ALA H = 8.78 N = CA = HA = C = 179.93|23 ALA helix (helix_alpha, helix3) and further i will make another file in which i will be able to put those lines form this file based on the missing atom value, like for 21 ALA HA is not defined so i will put it another file based on its HA missing value similarly i will put 23 ALA on another file based on its missing N,CA and HA value. I tried to join the two file based on their matching entries by:--- >>>from collections import defaultdict >>> >>> if __name__ == "__main__": ... a = open("/home/amrita/alachems/chem100.txt") ... c = open("/home/amrita/secstr/secstr100.txt") ... >>> def source(stream): ... return (line.strip() for line in stream) ... ... >>> def merge(sources): ... for m in merge([source(a),source(c)]): ... print "|".join(c.ljust(10) for c in m) ... but it is not giving any value.
