School assignment is to create a tab separated output with the original given
addresses in one column and then the addresses split into other columns (ex,
columns for city, postal code, street suffix).
Here is my code:
inHandler = open(inFile, 'r')
outHandler = open(outFile, 'w')
outHandler.write("FarmID\tAddress\tStreetNum\tStreetName\tSufType\tDir\tCity\tProvince\tPostalCode")
for line in inHandler:
str = line.replace("FarmID\tAddress", " ")
outHandler.write(str[0:-1])
str = str.replace(" ","\t", 1)
str = str.replace(" Rd, ","\tRd\t\t")
str = str.replace("Rd ","\tRd\t\t")
str = str.replace("Ave, ","\tAve\t\t")
str = str.replace("Ave ","\tAve\t\t")
str = str.replace("St ","\tSt\t\t")
str = str.replace("St, ","\tSt\t\t")
str = str.replace("Dr, ","\tDr\t\t")
str = str.replace("Lane, ","\tLane\t\t")
str = str.replace("Pky, ","\tPky\t\t")
str = str.replace(" Sq, ","\tSq\t\t")
str = str.replace(" Pl, ","\tPl\t\t")
str = str.replace("\tE, ","E\t")
str = str.replace("\tN, ","N\t")
str = str.replace("\tS, ","S\t")
str = str.replace("\tW, ","W\t")
str = str.replace(",\t","\t\t")
str = str.replace(", ON ","\tON\t")
outHandler.write(str)
inHandler.close()
outHandler.close()
Here is some sample addresses, there are over 100:
FarmID Address
1 1067 Niagara Stone Rd, Niagara-On-The-Lake, ON L0S 1J0
2 4260 Mountainview Rd, Lincoln, ON L0R 1B2
3 25 Hunter Rd, Grimsby, ON L3M 4A3
4 1091 Hutchinson Rd, Haldimand, ON N0A 1K0
5 5172 Green Lane Rd, Lincoln, ON L0R 1B3
6 500 Glenridge Ave, St. Catharines, ON L2S 3A1
7 471 Foss Rd, Pelham, ON L0S 1C0
8 758 Niagara Stone Rd, Niagara-On-The-Lake, ON L0S 1J0
9 3836 Main St, Lincoln, ON L0R 1S0
I have everything worked out, except that the final output places the farmID at
the end of postal code as seen in the example below (notice the brackets
showing where the farmID is placed):
FarmID Address StreetNum StreetName SufType Dir City
Province PostalCode
1 1067 Niagara Stone Rd, Niagara-On-The-Lake, ON L0S 1J0(1) 1067
Niagara Stone Rd Niagara-On-The-Lake ON L0S 1J0
Any ideas on how to fix this? Keep in mind as well that the farmID will have 2
characters at a certain point.
