Hi, i would like to parse many thousand files and aggregate the counts for the field entries related to every id.
extract_field grep the identifier for the fields with regex. result = [ { extract_field("id", line) : [extract_field("field1", line),extract_field("field2", line)]} for line in FILE ] result gives me. {'a: ['0', '84']}, {'a': ['0', '84']}, {'b': ['1000', '83']}, {'b': ['0', '84']}, i like to aggregate them for every line or maybe file and get after the complete parsing procedure the possibility to count the amount of ids having > 0 entries in '83'. {'a: {'0':2, '84':2}} {'b': {'1000':1,'83':1,'84':1} } My current solution with mysql is really slow.
