Hello, I have to parse a text file (was excel, but I translated to CSV) like the one below, and I am not sure how to store it (to manipulate it later).
Here is an extract of the data: Name,Allele,RHA280,RHA801,RHA373,RHA377,HA383 TDF1,181,,,,, ,188,,,,, ,190,,,,, ,193,*,*,,, ,None,,,*,*,* ,,,,,, TDF2,1200,*,*,,,* ,None,,,*,*, ,,,,,, TDF3,236,,,,, ,240,,,,, ,244,*,,*,,* ,252,*,*,,, ,None,,,,*, ,,,,,, Should I use lists? Dictionary? Or a combination? The final goal is to "count" how many stars (*) has any "LINE" (a line is RHA280 for instance). RHA280 has 1 star in TDF1 and 1 star in TDF2 and 2 stars in TDF3. I am lost because I do analize the data "line by line" (for Line in FILE) so it is hard to count by column. -- <a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=24672&t=1";>La web sin popups ni spyware: Usa Firefox en lugar de Internet Explorer</a> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
