hi group, i have a data obtained from other student(over 100K) lines that looks like this: (39577484, 39577692) [['NM_003750']] (107906, 108011) [['NM_002443']] (113426, 113750) [['NM_138634', 'NM_002443']] (106886, 106991) [['NM_138634', 'NM_002443']] (100708, 100742) [['NM_138634', 'NM_002443']] (35055935, 35056061) [['NM_002313', 'NM_001003407', 'NM_001003408']]
I know that first two items in () are tuples, and the next [[]] a list of list. I was told that the tuples were keys and the list was its value in a dictionary. how can I parse this into a neat structure that looks like this: 39577484, 39577692 \t NM_003750 107906, 108011 \t NM_002443 113426, 113750 \t NM_138634,NM_002443 106886, 106991 \t NM_138634,NM_002443 100708, 100742 \t NM_138634,NM_002443 35055935, 35056061 \t NM_002313,NM_001003407,NM_001003408 I treid substituting in vim editor but it is not effective.
