I am new to Python but I have studied hard and written a fairly big
(to me) script/program. I have solved all of my problems by Googling
but this one has got me stumped.
I want to check a string for a substring and if it exists I want to
create a new, empty list using that substring as the name of the list.
For example:
Let's say file1 has line1 through line100 as the first word in each
line.
for X in open("file1"):
Do a test.
If true:
Y = re.split(" ", X)
Z = Y[0] # This is a string, maybe it is "Line42"
Z = [] # This doesn't work, I want a new, empty
list created called Line42 not Z.
Is there any way to do this?
