Hi,
i have to files.
First file is a csv file
Second file is a plain text file where each row has a value (text)
I want to be able to create a third file using data from the first file
excluding the values listed in the second file.
Example:
First file:
-----------
mtgoxeur 12 24 36
mtgoxusd 10 12 14
mtgoxpln 2 4 6
Second file:
------------
mtgoxusd
Third File (the resulting one) :
--------------------------------
mtgoxeur 12 24 36
mtgoxpln 2 4 6
Thanks to anyone that can help
Start by making a set out of the second file. Don't forget to remove
whitespace with strip()
Then loop through the first file. For each line, split() it by
whitespace, and conditionally write the line to the third file. The
test would be something like:
if fields[0] in myset:
outfile.write(line)
