My current Test_Sort.csv looks like this (which constantly changes-although
never more than 4 records, thus far anyway):
RecNo,Count,District,Fruit,StoreNo
1,100,0,oranges,1254
2,30,3,apples,654
3,100,0,bananas,21
4,0,4,grapes,478
I wrote the following python 2.7 script (stuck with 2.7)
---------------------
import sys
import csv
import operator
source = "E:\\Data\\Test_Sort.csv"
result = "E:\\Data\\Test_Sort1.csv"
with open(source,"rb") as source:
rdr= csv.reader( source )
with open(result,"wb") as result:
next(rdr, None) # Skip header
wtr= csv.writer( result )
for r in rdr:
wtr.writerow( (r[2], r[3])) # Only write columns 3 and 4 to a csv
file
exit
exit
data = csv.reader(open("E:\\Data\\Test_Sort1.csv"),delimiter=',')
sortedlist = sorted(data, key=operator.itemgetter(0,1)) # sort by column 1, the
2
print sortedlist
-----------------------------
My sortedlist results are:
[['0', 'bananas'], ['0', 'oranges'], ['3', 'apples'], ['4', 'grapes']]
I want to output all fruits with the same District number out to a csv file
called by its District number. (No headers)
Thus in above example I would ultimately have three csv files:
0.csv
bananas
oranges
3.csv
apples
4.csv
grapes
Question is : Any ideas as to how export this sortedlist to the tables
described above?
I already have a script that already will look at each file and count the
number of lines and insert the correct number of commas and the word "and"
where appropriate in a sentence.
My ultimate goal is to read each file and print out a sentence based on whether
it has record or not, and if so how many records and then add the word "and"
and/or commas between records if greater than 1. I will then concatenate all
the sentences together to form a paragraph.
Thus, the above example would say:
The western district sold bananas and oranges. The central district sold
apples. The southern district sold grapes.
or if the files were:
0.csv
apples
bananas
oranges
2.csv
grapes
The resulting paragraph would read:
The western district sold apples, bananas, and oranges. The eastern district
sold grapes.
It may seem like a crazy way about getting my results but it was the best I
could come up with given my limited knowledge of python.
Thanks for any and all help.
